Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a rea
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise checking the service history to ensure the oil leak noted in April 2024 was properly addressed and hasn't recurred. Given the previous failure regarding the CV boot and drive shaft, a test drive to listen for any clicking noises while turning is essential.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the brake disc and pad replacement that was required in early 2024. Since the vehicle has had issues with side repeaters and seat armrests in the past, a quick check of all exterior lighting and interior trim stability is recommended to ensure previous MOT failures have been fully rectified.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Combo is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a small commercial van.
Tax and insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim, but it generally falls into a mid-range bracket for small vans. Maintenance costs will be influenced by the diesel engine's requirements, such as timing belt intervals and DPF maintenance, which should be cross-referenced with the service book.
Specifically inspect the offside front area for any signs of grease or debris, which could indicate a recurrence of the CV boot leak or the front oil leak noted in the 2024 MOT history. Check the condition of the front brake discs and pads, as these were highlighted as wear items in a previous failure.
Additionally, verify that the nearside side repeater is fully functional and the lens is secure, as this was a previous defect. Finally, check the driver's seat armrest to ensure it is securely fixed, following the insecurity reported in February 2024.
This 2019 white Vauxhall Combo diesel has covered 59,440 miles as of April 2026. The vehicle has a mix of clean recent passes and a more problematic period in early 2024 involving brakes, tyres, and drive shaft components. Its mileage is consistent with its age, and the most recent two MOT tests show no recorded defects.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Combo to provide a comparative benchmark.
