Our Verdict
A sensible choice for a buyer seeking a
Prioritise checking the rear braking system; brake disc corrosion was noted in both 2023 and 2024, so you should verify if these components have since been replaced. Check the current tread depth on all tyres, particularly the offside front, which was flagged as being close to the legal limit in the September 2025 test.
Review the service history to ensure the 1.2L engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Given the nature of commercial use, check for any signs of heavy loading or interior wear beyond the reported armrest damage.
The 1.2L petrol engine typically offers lower insurance groups than larger diesel variants and is Euro 6 compliant, ensuring it remains exempt from most UK clean air zone charges. However, petrol fuel economy in a van is generally lower than diesel, which may increase monthly fuel spend depending on annual mileage.
Maintenance costs for the Combo are generally standard for the segment. Based on the MOT history, this vehicle has a tendency toward rapid tyre wear and brake disc corrosion, which may lead to slightly higher annual spend on consumables.
Inspect the rear brake discs for pitting or scoring, as these were highlighted as 'worn, pitted or scored' in the 2023 and 2024 MOTs. Examine the offside front tyre for wear on the edge, as this was the primary advisory in the most recent 2025 test.
Inside the cabin, check the driver's seat armrest, which was reported as ripped out of the frame in 2024. Additionally, ensure the windscreen wipers are functioning correctly and not smearing, as both front blades were defective during the 2023 inspection.
This grey 2020 Vauxhall Combo has covered 40,889 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has passed all three recorded MOT tests, although the history shows a pattern of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion and tyre wear. Its Euro 6 AM petrol engine makes it a practical option for users needing to avoid urban emission charges.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Combo, but this specific vehicle has passed every MOT test since registration.
