2021 Vauxhall Combo Life SE Turbo D S/S 1.5L Diesel · CV71 TFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-23 confirming no defects at 92,757 miles. However, the preceding test on 2025-07-21 recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting an anomaly or potential oversight in the assessment. The absence of recorded issues in both tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the failed test’s lack of detail raises questions about its validity. The mileage of 92,757 miles over five years equates to an average of 18,551 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. This rapid accumulation, particularly the jump from 57,301 miles in 2024 to 92,757 miles in 2025, implies heavy usage that could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain. The sparse MOT history, with only three tests, limits insight into long-term trends, but the high mileage alone necessitates scrutiny of mechanical integrity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system for uneven wear or binding calipers, given the high mileage, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels should also be checked, as rapid mileage can exacerbate structural fatigue. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the recent failed test and elevated usage patterns warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
