2022 Vauxhall Combo-E 2300 Dynamic Electricity · FG72 TOJ

A largely untroubled MOT record sits behind the 2022 Vauxhall Combo-e, with the most recent test on 26 August 2026 returning a clean pass and no advisories logged by the examiner. Across the available history there is only one recorded advisory, which appeared at the 2025 test, indicating that this vehicle has not generated a pattern of chronic advisories, recurring component wear, or any retest failures during the period covered. The move from a single minor brake-related advisory in 2025 to a defect-free pass in 2026 suggests the recorded condition at the time of test has either remained stable or improved slightly, with nothing in the DVSA file pointing to a worsening mechanical trend. With 30,830 miles recorded against an age of roughly four years, the vehicle is accumulating mileage at approximately 7,700 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a small electric commercial of this age. There are no extended periods without test activity that would suggest long-term standing, and the gap between successive tests is consistent with a vehicle that has remained in regular service rather than being laid up. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage means the usual wear items such as brake friction material, discs, tyres, suspension bushes and anti-roll bar linkages should be in a normal mid-life condition, and the high-voltage battery and associated drive components will have seen steady but moderate cycling rather than the heavy use that accelerates degradation in commercial fleets. The single advisory recorded relates to a rear brake disc exhibiting wear, pitting or scoring that was not judged serious enough to fail at the time, and this is the most relevant component for a prospective buyer to focus on. On a road test, listen for any rhythmic grinding or scraping from the rear axle, particularly at low speed, and feel for vibration or judder through the pedal under steady braking, both of which can indicate a disc surface that has deteriorated beyond the advisory threshold. With the vehicle stationary, a visual check around the rear wheels for uneven disc surface texture, a deep lip at the outer edge of the disc, or any binding that causes the wheel to rotate heavier than its counterpart will provide useful supporting evidence of whether a reconditioning or replacement is imminent. Beyond the brake item, the absence of any further advisories means there are no other specific components flagged by previous examinations, but a thorough inspection should still cover the areas that typically affect a vehicle of this age and mileage. The test drive should be used to detect any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn drop links or anti-roll bar bushes, as well as any pulling to one side under braking that might suggest a binding rear caliper now that the disc wear has been highlighted. Steering should remain precise without excessive play around the straight-ahead position, and the electronic parking brake should apply and release cleanly, as caliper slide pins on lightly used commercial vehicles can occasionally seize and lead to uneven rear brake wear.
