Vauxhall Combo - 52.0% pass rate
Another popular compact van that struggles at MoT time is the Vauxhall Combo. Roughly half will fail the MoT, with suspension and brake issues being the most-common culprits.
It's worth noting that the Combo is used by a number of large fleets – including the Post Office - which doesn't help the MoT performance, with lots of vans being driven hard every day by employees who care little for their van. That said, the Combo's pass rates improve slightly once you get into the used stock, with 2010 models doing six per cent better than its key rivals.
