2009 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WR09 AEC

This Vauxhall Combo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 146,576 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's 17 year age. Between the September 2023 test at 138,919 miles and the February 2026 test at 146,576 miles, the car covered 7,657 miles over approximately two and a half years. This indicates a period of relatively light use, which typically reduces the immediate wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage commercial use. The absence of recorded defects or advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and type. While the DVSA records show no issues with brake discs, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and sills. Older Combo models are prone to underside corrosion that may not always be flagged if the vehicle has been recently cleaned or treated. Focus a manual inspection on the condition of the consumables and the integrity of the rear suspension. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine and gearbox that a standard MOT might overlook. Given the lack of reported faults, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is the priority to ensure long-term mechanical reliability.
