2021 Vauxhall Combo-E 2300 Sportive Electricity · CF71 TXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT record indicates a trend of neglected consumable maintenance. While it passed the test on 4 February 2026 at 14,539 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding the nearside tyres. These faults suggest that while the mechanical components may be functioning, the owner has overlooked or ignored basic upkeep tasks related to rubber-based degradation and uneven wear. At 14,539 miles over five years, the vehicle has covered an average of only 2,908 miles per year. This exceptionally low mileage profile suggests the van has sat stationary for long periods or used only for very short trips. Such usage often explains the cracking and perishing noted on the Michelin Primacy 3 tyres in the February 2026 test, as rubber degrades over time due to exposure to the elements and lack of motion, despite having significant tread depth remaining. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering to determine if the uneven wear on the nearside front tyre is caused by an alignment issue, worn suspension bushes, or a failing component common in low-mile-age vehicles. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from inactivity and verify that the brake calipers are not seized. The perishing tyres on the nearside require immediate replacement to ensure structural integrity of the rubber, regardless of the remaining tread.
