2018 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WT18 NNZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in March 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses specific mechanical failures immediately following a fail. The most recent failure occurred in February 2026 at 13,867 miles due to a fractured nearside front coil spring, which was rectified to allow a clean pass just three weeks later. This indicates the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, recording only 13,868 miles. This averages to approximately 1,734 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a commercial van. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,219 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long standing times can lead to the degradation of rubber seals, fluid breakdown, and brake corrosion from lack of use. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the replacement coil spring has not caused secondary damage to the shock absorber or mounting arms. Given the low mileage and the previous failure of the windscreen washer pump in 2025, a thorough inspection should check for seized components or perished hoses that often affect vehicles that sit idle. The tester should also verify the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust that can lead to binding calipers if not regularly exercised.
