2020 Vauxhall Combo 1.5L Diesel · DL70 LFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 6 July 2026 at 76,973 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the recurring mechanical and lighting issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the most recent test is clean, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults are corrected only after failing rather than through a preventative schedule. The mileage pattern indicates high and consistent use, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year over its six-year life. There is a significant jump of 15,630 miles recorded between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, followed by another 4,046 miles in the eight months leading up to the latest inspection. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle is used daily for long-distance commuting or work, which explains the accelerated wear observed on high-frequency consumable components like tyres and the braking system. A prospective buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system due to recurring issues. The 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged fluctuating front service brakes along with thin rear pads and pitted discs. These symptoms often indicate warped rotors or sticking calipers, which can lead to uneven wear if not monitored. Additionally, the history of tyres worn to the edges in both 2023 and 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified during a test drive to ensure no premature degradation continues.
