2018 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · WV18 WHB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 121,811 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a significant failure in early 2025. While the vehicle previously suffered multiple safety-related failures, the subsequent clean passes in March and February indicate that the owner addressed the immediate mechanical concerns and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard recently. The mileage profile reflects high usage for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,200 miles per year. There is a notable surge in activity between March 2023 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered 15,078 miles in just two years. The rate of accumulation remained high with 11,172 miles recorded between March 2025 and February 2026. This consistent high-mileage pattern places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake wear-related items. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension, as the February 2025 failure revealed fractures in both the nearside and offside front coil springs. While these were replaced, the high mileage suggests other suspension components may be nearing the end of their service. You should also inspect the rear tyres for sidewall damage, as the previous test flagged deep cuts reaching the cords on both rear tyres. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the brake discs and the structural integrity of the wheel arches is necessary to ensure the high usage has not led to accelerated corrosion.
