2020 Opel Combo 1.5L Diesel · AE70 EWD

The 2020 Opel Combo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 53,744 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure entry on 22 February 2024 at 34,737 miles is anomalous, showing no defects listed against the vehicle, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 8,957 across the six-year life, a typical figure for this age of light commercial vehicle. The odometer moved from 34,737 miles in February 2024 to 44,821 in February 2025, then to 53,744 by February 2026, giving near-identical yearly increments of around 9,000 miles. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished advisory history. The clean MOT run gives no indication of worn coil springs, binding calipers, or structural rust, yet testers only record visible defects at the time of test. Given the combo's role as a load carrier, check the rear suspension mounts and floor pan for stress or corrosion that a yearly test might miss between intervals. The February 2024 failure with zero defects recorded warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code before purchase. If it was a documentation or presentation issue rather than a mechanical rejection, the vehicle's history stands as consistently sound. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic upkeep to pass standard roadworthiness checks without recurring consumable neglect.
