2017 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · DU67 VGA

The most recent MOT on 2024-07-29 recorded two tyre-related issues: the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and the offside front tyre showed damage from cracking or perishing. These defects suggest ongoing tyre wear, potentially linked to alignment, suspension, or driving habits. No other defects were noted, but the presence of multiple tyre issues in a single inspection raises concerns about consistent maintenance or underlying mechanical stress. A failed MOT on 2023-05-12 revealed a supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp fault, which was resolved by the next inspection. This indicates a temporary electrical or sensor issue, but the absence of further SRS-related defects in subsequent tests suggests the problem was addressed. However, the SRS system’s reliability is critical for safety, so a buyer should verify that the fault was fully repaired. Recurring tyre wear is the primary mechanical pattern. Both front and rear tyres have been flagged for nearing the legal limit or showing damage in separate inspections. This could signal uneven wear due to misalignment, worn suspension components, or excessive mileage. The 2022 MOT noted rear tyres near the limit, while the 2024 test highlighted front tyres, suggesting a shift in wear distribution.
