2020 Vauxhall Combo 1.5L Diesel · AX69 FKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward necessary consumable maintenance. While the car passed its test in November 2025 at 33,010 miles, the report noted several new advisories regarding artwork wear and tyre condition. This represents a worsening trend compared to the clean result in December 2024, suggesting that components which were once adequate are now reaching the end of their functional life and require immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between January 2023 at 20,396 miles and December 2024 at 27,888 miles, where the vehicle covered only 7,492 miles in nearly two years. This low annual usage often results in less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to flat-spotting tyres or the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the November 2025 test flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin. Given the low mileage, the discs should be checked for surface corrosion or uneven scoring caused by infrequent use. Furthermore, the nearside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and shows edge wear, which indicates a potential alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressure that needs to be rectified to prevent premature wear on a new set of tyres. Finally, the physical damage to the rear loading door noted in box 2024 should be examined for structural integrity to ensure the hinges and seals are not compromised. While the tester noted the door was functioning correctly at the time, impact damage can lead to water ingress or rust over time. The cuts on the nearside front and offside rear tyres must be monitored closely to ensure they do not expose the internal cords, which would necessitate an immediate replacement for safety.
