2020 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD S/S 1.5L Diesel · DY70 UMS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to mechanical deterioration. While the car achieved two consecutive passes in 2023 and 2024, the most recent test in October 2025 identified a failure regarding a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. This indicates that while basic items were previously maintained, critical wear components are now beginning to require attention and replacement. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old vehicle, with 95,730 miles recorded representing an average of approximately 16,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent and rapid accumulation, with nearly 15,000 miles covered between October 2023 and another 15,000 miles followed by October 2024. This high usage suggests heavy commercial application, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the offside front drive area to check for grease leakage and potential drive shaft damage resulting from the perished CV boot. Given the failure in 2023 for worn rear brake discs and thin pads, the entire braking system should be evaluated for current thickness and corrosion. Additionally, the high mileage necessitates a close look at the suspension bushings, clutch, and turbocharger, as these are often nearing the end of their service under such demanding conditions.
