Our Verdict
A solid purchase prospect for those needing a reliable small van. The vehicle shows a consistent pass record across its MOT history with no recorded defects.
When inspecting this 1.5L diesel Combo, verify that the service history matches the mileage progression, particularly the jump from 47,998 miles in 2023 to 67,245 miles in 2024. Because it is a diesel workhorse, check for any signs of heavy load usage which might affect the suspension or rear bumper condition.
Negotiate based on the upcoming MOT requirement and the fact that it is a high-mileage diesel. Ensure the timing belt/cambelt has been changed if the manufacturer's interval has been reached, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type.
As a 1499cc diesel, this vehicle is designed for efficiency, particularly on motorways. Expect moderate fuel economy, though urban driving may increase costs. Tax and insurance groups for the Vauxhall Combo are typically mid-range, making it affordable for small business owners.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though diesel-specific components like the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) may require attention if the van has only been used for short city trips. Estimated annual running costs fall within a standard bracket for a light commercial vehicle of this age.
Since the MOT history shows no defects or failures, there are no specific recurring mechanical issues to flag from the records. However, you should perform a thorough visual inspection of the white bodywork for any commercial dents or scratches.
Check the underside for signs of corrosion and inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues. Given the mileage of 70,561, pay close attention to the clutch feel and any unusual noises from the engine or gearbox during a test drive.
This 2020 Vauxhall Combo, finished in white, has covered 70,561 miles as of its most recent MOT in December 2025. The MOT history is notably clean, with three consecutive passes since 2023 and no recorded failures or defects. Given its age and diesel engine, it appears to have been used regularly for commercial or long-distance purposes.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Combo to provide a comparative benchmark.
