2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · WR09 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-08-15 resulted in a failure with no defects recorded, indicating an unresolved issue that may have been rectified but remains unverified. Prior tests from 2021 and 2020 show inconsistent outcomes, including a failed and passed test on the same date (2021-08-27), which raises questions about administrative accuracy. No structural or mechanical defects were noted in the history, but the absence of a valid MOT since 2022 suggests potential neglect in maintaining roadworthiness. The lack of recent data complicates assessing whether maintenance trends are stable or deteriorating. The vehicle’s mileage of 201,963 miles aligns with an average of ~11,880 annual miles over 17 years, reflecting typical usage for its age. However, the gap between the 2020 test (195,071 miles) and 2022 test (201,963 miles) spans 6,892 miles over 22 months, which is slightly above average but not alarming. The sparse defect records suggest minimal critical issues, though the 2022 failure without recorded faults implies a possible oversight or unresolved fault. The MOT history lacks detailed technical findings, limiting insights into wear patterns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates such wear. The absence of brake-related defects in the record does not preclude the need for a physical check of brake discs, calipers, and pads, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion in the chassis or body panels may have developed unnoticed. The lack of recent MOT data necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current condition.
