VAUXHALL COMBO 2300 SPORTIVE TD2022 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its 2026-02-24 MOT pass at 70,593 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a prior failed test on the same date at 70,563 miles—just 30 miles earlier—suggests potential inconsistency in the testing process or minor issues unresolved. The absence of defects in both tests indicates no critical failures, but the proximity of the failed and passed results raises questions about the reliability of the most recent assessment. No recurring mechanical faults are evident from the record, implying a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle’s mileage of 70,593 miles at 4 years old equates to an average of 17,648 miles annually, which is notably high for its age. A significant jump from 56,110 miles in 2025-03-11 to 70,593 miles in 2026-02-24—over 14,000 miles in 11 months—suggests heavy usage or possible odometer manipulation. This rapid accumulation increases wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT history. The sparse record lacks detailed defect descriptions, limiting insight into specific maintenance practices. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, focusing on corrosion in high-mileage areas such as underbody panels and suspension components. The absence of brake or exhaust-related defects in the MOT does not preclude a physical inspection for worn brake discs, binding calipers, or exhaust leaks, which may not trigger immediate failures. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be checked for wear, given the high annual mileage. The lack of prior advisories on these systems does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment to confirm their condition.
