2001 Vauxhall Combo 1.7L Diesel · YP51 YRR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2025 at 190,459 miles. This result followed a failure two days prior on 3 June 2025, though the record does not specify the exact defects that caused the initial rejection. The absence of advisories in the latest pass suggests the vehicle is in a fair state of repair for its age. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a 25 year old utility vehicle, averaging roughly 7,618 miles per year. A significant period of inactivity occurred between 22 September 2021 and 1 May 2024, where the odometer remained static at 177,408 miles. This three year gap suggests the vehicle was stored or unused, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Use increased again between May 2024 and June 2025, adding 13,051 miles to the total. The MOT history is unusually clean for a Vauxhall Combo of this vintage, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple tests. This lack of data is atypical for a vehicle with nearly 200,000 miles, as one would expect to see mentions of suspension bush wear, coil spring corrosion, or exhaust leaks. A buyer should treat this clean record with caution and conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and sills for structural rust. Focus the physical inspection on the drivetrain and braking system. Given the previous period of standing, check for brake disc corrosion and ensure the handbrake operates fully. Inspect the suspension components and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these often degrade during long periods of storage regardless of the mileage.
