2019 Vauxhall Combo 1.6L Diesel · DP19 EPK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 20 June 2025 at 68,951 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of reactive repairs. While the June 2025 test initially failed due to mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicate that the current owner is willing to address safety-critical faults once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-commercial use, averaging approximately 9,850 miles per year over the seven-year period. There is a gap of 14,613 miles between the June 2023 (48,226 miles) and April 2024 (62,839 miles) tests, followed by another 6,112 miles leading up to the most recent June test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during inspection. The April 2024 failure flagged both front and rear brake discs as being pitted and scored. Although these were not classed as seriously weakened at the time, the condition suggests either surface corrosion from standing periods or abrasive wear. Verify the current thickness of the brake pads and ensure the discs have been replaced or resurfaced to prevent uneven braking. The June 2025 failure regarding mismatched tyres on the rear axle requires a physical check that a matching set of tyres has now been fitted to ensure stable handling and braking. Given the previous issues with headlamp aim and registration plate lighting in 2024, a quick check of all external lighting and beam alignment is necessary to confirm compliance. No structural corrosion or suspension defects have been noted in the record, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age.
