2022 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · DN71 FLD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a trend of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While it passed the October 2025 test at 62,266 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at 62,265 miles. The transition from a failure to a pass suggests the owner addressed immediate defects, such as the incorrect indicator colours and headlamp aim, only when forced to do so by the tester. At 62,266 miles after four years, this Vauxhall has averaged approximately 15,500 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for its age. The interval between the October 2024 test at 53,684 miles and the 2025 test shows an accumulation of nearly 9,000 miles in twelve months. This high usage puts accelerated strain on wear components and the suspension system, which is reflected in the mechanical issues identified during the most recent inspection. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension geometry, as the October 2025 record flagged both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins or bushes. Although these did not result in a failure at that time, the presence of wear on both sides suggests the rubber components are reaching the end of their service. You should also inspect the rear tyres thoroughly, as the previous failure noted a cut reaching the cords and uneven edge wear, indicating either poor alignment or neglect of tyre maintenance.
