2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · WR09 ACO

The 2009 Vauxhall Combo demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent 2025 MOT at 118,662 miles confirming roadworthiness. The 2024 tests, including a single failed inspection on 2024-07-15 (115,648 miles), showed no recorded defects, suggesting the failure was likely a procedural error or minor non-compliance resolved before the subsequent pass on 2024-07-16. No recurring mechanical issues are evident in the history, and the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant faults. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,980 miles annually. The 2023-2025 tests reveal consistent intervals, with minimal gaps between inspections. The 2022-2023 period saw a slight reduction in mileage (108,822 to 113,083 miles), which could indicate reduced usage or infrequent motoring, though no evidence of excessive standing or neglect is present. The absence of advisories or defects in the record suggests the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as these systems often degrade over time. Structural corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system or body panels, warrants scrutiny, as it may not appear in MOT tests unless severe. The lack of recorded issues is positive, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the integrity of high-mileage mechanical and structural elements.
