2017 Vauxhall Combo 1.2L Diesel · EY67 HNR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift from clean passes to reactive repairs. While the car achieved several clean records between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in April 2026 at 112,283 miles flagged multiple advisories across different mechanical systems. This suggests that the previous owner has recently neglected preventative maintenance, only addressing components once they reached the point of failure or significant wear thresholds. At 112,283 miles, this nine-year-old Vauxhall Combo has covered an average of approximately 12,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant spike in usage between April 2025 and April 2026, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of use accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components, particularly within the suspension and braking systems, which explains the sudden appearance of multiple defects-related advisories in the 2026 inspection. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and braking assembly thoroughly. The 2026 test identified a corroded nearside front coil spring and previously noted worn axle bushes, indicating the suspension geometry is under significant stress from the high mileage. The presence of pitted front brake discs and thin pads suggests that the braking system is nearing the end of its service life. Additionally, the reported perishing on the nearside rear tyre and edge wear on the offside front tyre indicate that immediate rubber replacement is required to ensure safety and proper handling.
