2022 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · FE22 OLK

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance record, with the most recent test on 24 April 2026 at 45,468 miles resulting in a pass with only a minor advisory for a defective offside front windscreen wiper blade. This is a routine consumable failure that does not indicate deeper mechanical neglect. However, the previous test on 19 May 2025 at 34,857 miles showed a failure due to front headlamps being too high and an oil leak. The fact that these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass suggests the owner is responsive to MOT-related safety requirements. At 45,468 miles over four years, the vehicle averages approximately 11,367 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. This mileage profile suggests that wear on the drivetrain and suspension remains moderate rather than accelerated. The oil leak noted in May 2025 was described as not excessive, yet it warrants continued monitoring. While the leak did not cause a failure in the following year, a buyer should inspect the engine block and sump for signs of active weeping to ensure the condition has not progressed since the last DVSA inspection. The mechanical focus should remain on the headlamp alignment and the integrity of the engine seals. Since the headlamps failed for aim in 2025, verify that the beam is currently correctly adjusted to avoid glare for other drivers. There are no records of structural corrosion, brake binding issues, or suspension failures in the provided history, which is a positive indicator for a van of this age. The vehicle appears to have been maintained to a consistent standard, provided the minor oil leak remains stable and does not require immediate intervention.
