2021 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · DT21 YXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test in August 2025 at 71,756 miles passed despite advisories for thin front brake pads and a defective offside front wiper blade. While these are minor consumable issues, the presence of thin pads suggests the previous owner only addressed components when they approach failure limits rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 39,097 miles and the August 2025 test at 71,756 miles, the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage suggests heavy motor road use, which typically accelerates the wear on the suspension, drivetrain components, and braking system. A buyer must physically inspect the wheel alignment and suspension geometry, as the 2024 test flagged three tyres as being worn to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edges. This pattern often points to incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes that will continue to prematurely scrub tyres. The missing AdBlue filler cap noted in 2024 should also be verified to ensure no debris has entered the emission treatment system, which can lead to expensive injector failures.
