YR65 ACX MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Vauxhall Combo (YR65 ACX) between May 2022 and May 2025.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 16 May 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Macpherson strut pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.2.2 (g))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough inspection before buying this 2015 Vauxhall Combo diesel. The van has a mixed MOT record including a 2022 failure, but recent tests show it is roadworthy with only minor wear items noted.
When viewing this Combo, ask to see proof that the May 2022 failure items were properly repaired — the swivel pins and bushes, Nearside Front Macpherson strut, engine malfunction indicator lamp and windscreen wiper should all have been addressed before the retest pass one day later. A full service history is desirable on a 1248cc diesel used as a van; confirm timing belt and fuel filter intervals have been observed. Use the noted front tyre wear and underside corrosion as negotiation points, as two new front tyres and future rust treatment will be needed.
As a 1.2-litre diesel van first registered in October 2015, this Combo should return reasonable fuel economy suited to light duties, though exact figures are not in the data provided. VED for older small diesel commercials is typically low, and insurance group for a 2015 Combo is modest, but precise ratings are not stated here. Routine maintenance such as tyres, brakes and the minor exhaust leak seen in 2023 will add to upkeep; we estimate annual running costs of around £1,200-£1,600 including fuel, tax, insurance and servicing.
The May 2022 MOT failure listed Nearside Front Macpherson strut pin or bush excessively worn and rear axle swivel pins/bushes slightly worn on both sides, so physically check the front suspension and rear axle for play, noise or fresh replacement parts. The 2023 test noted a minor exhaust gas leak at the back box and worn rear tyres, while 2024 and 2025 recorded underside corrosion, so examine the exhaust and underbody closely for worsening rust. Confirm the engine malfunction lamp is off and the windscreen wipers clear effectively, as both were failure points in 2022 and could recur if not maintained.
This white 2015 Vauxhall Combo 1.2-litre diesel (YR65ACX) has covered 75,102 miles as of its May 2025 MOT pass, which is modest for a ten-year-old light commercial vehicle. Its history shows one MOT failure in May 2022 for suspension bushes, a warning light, strut wear and wipers, all subsequently rectified. Recurring advisories for corrosion and tyre wear suggest an ageing but usable workhorse rather than a pristine example.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Combo, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's own history.
