2002 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · WX02 NWA

The 2002 Vauxhall Combo shows a history of recurring mechanical wear typical of an aging commercial vehicle. While the most recent test on January 9 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, it followed a failure that same day. The tester flagged a split nearside front CV boot, a failing windscreen washer, and exhaust emissions exceeding the limit for a turbo diesel. These failures suggest that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the engine health and drivetrain components require immediate attention to prevent secondary damage or failure. Mileage data indicates a consistent usage pattern, averaging approximately 3,000 to 4,000 miles per year between 2020 and 2025. The vehicle travelled from 114,406 miles in January 2020 to 131,536 miles by January 2025. This low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. The repeated reports of worn anti-roll bar bushes and suspension arm pins across 2024 and 2025 confirm that the front suspension is suffering from age-related fatigue despite the low mileage. The record reveals a persistent issue with corrosion and fluid leaks. The offside rear brake pipe was flagged for heavy corrosion in 2020 and 2021, indicating a lack of preventative underbody treatment or high environmental exposure. Additionally, oil leaks were noted in 2018 and 2024, which, while described as not excessive, represent an ongoing condition. A buyer should specifically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and verify the current state of the brake lines, as the history shows a vehicle prone to oxidation and component degradation.
