2022 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Dynamic TD 1.5L Diesel · FE22 OPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 54,741 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure on the same day. This indicates the owner only addresses mechanical defects when legally required to pass the MOT test, suggesting a trend where components are run to the point of failure rather than being replaced during scheduled intervals. The van has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 13,700 miles per year over its four-year life life. Between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, the vehicle clocked 13,413 miles in just twelve months. This consistent high-mileage usage places heavy strain on the braking system and suspension components. The narrow gap between tests shows the vehicle is used regularly for commercial or long-distance duties, which explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable items noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system because the March 2026 failure flagged thin front and rear brake pads alongside pitted and scored brake discs on all axles. Although these were replaced to secure the pass, the rapid deterioration of the discs suggests the calipers may be seizing or the vehicle is subjected to heavy braking. The 2025 failure revealed critical neglect regarding the rear tyres, with exposed cords and structural lumps, indicating a previous lack of basic safety checks. The buyer should also verify the condition of the windscreen wipers and headlamp alignment, as these were previously flagged faults. Given the high mileage and the history of structural tyre failure, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is essential to ensure no hidden damage has occurred from the high-mileage operation. The record shows a vehicle that has been driven hard and maintained with the minimum effort required to keep it on the road.
