2021 Vauxhall Combo 1.5L Diesel · DS21 OPP

The 2021 Vauxhall Combo presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 27 April 2026 passing cleanly at 33,393 miles. The only advisory was a minor registration plate deterioration, a cosmetic issue with no mechanical significance. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of consistent, if not meticulous, upkeep across the vehicle's life. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,679 miles per year is entirely typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady climb from 21,405 miles in April 2024 to 27,921 miles in May 2025, and finally to 33,393 miles in April 2026. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged standing, which is positive for preventing long-term corrosion and component seizure. A buyer should pay close attention to the front brake pads and rear tyres, as these were flagged as wearing thin in the May 2025 test at 27,921 miles. With nearly 5,500 miles covered since that inspection, these consumables are likely due for replacement or may already be at the legal limit. The front brake pads were noted as wearing thin, and the rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit on the edges, indicating a potential alignment or inflation issue that may have persisted. A thorough inspection of the braking system, including disc condition and caliper operation, is advisable. The windscreen wiper failure in April 2024 was a minor defect, but its recurrence should be checked during a test drive. The registration plate deterioration, noted in both 2025 and 2026, is cosmetic and does not affect roadworthiness. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, but the front brakes and rear tyres warrant immediate attention to ensure continued safe operation.
