2021 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · DN21 CGV

The Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD stands roadworthy after a passing MOT on 11 February 2026 at 43,923 miles, and the upkeep trend reads stable across the available record. The most recent examination sits five months before the current date, keeping the test certificate fresh. The tester logged a failure on that same date and mileage with no defects cited, then issued a pass later the same day at identical odometer reading. Such a duplicate outcome with zero advisories points to a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. Prior to this, the 19 February 2025 examination at 34,286 miles returned a clean pass. The vehicle shows no worsening or recurring faults in the data. Mileage advanced from 34,286 at the February 2025 test to 43,923 by February 2026, a twelve-month gain of 9,637 miles. This sits close to the 8,785 miles per year average implied by the five-year age and total distance, marking typical light commercial usage with no rapid accumulation or extended dormancy. The history spans only two annual tests, both free of recorded defects, which suggests the previous owner kept to statutory inspections though the twin result on the latest date warrants verification. Sparse entries limit deep trend analysis but reveal no neglect signals such as repeated tyre or brake failures. With no advisories or faults flagged, the buyer encounters no highlighted structural or mechanical risks like corroded chassis members or binding rear brakes. The unexplained failure on 11 February 2026 should be reconciled via DVSA channels to rule out a documentation error. A pre-purchase inspection must still assess wear-prone items that a clean certificate does not expose: brake disc wear, suspension bush compliance, coil spring fractures, exhaust emissions within limits, and underbody rust. Check consumable tyre tread and wiper blades for replacement needs. The recorded care pattern implies reasonable stewardship, yet physical verification remains prudent given the test anomaly.
