2020 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · FH70 GZK

The Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 48,212 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 2 December 2024 at 40,288 miles also passed clean. Two earlier failures dated 8 November 2024 and 14 November 2023 both show no defects recorded against the vehicle, indicating administrative or presentation issues at those tests rather than mechanical faults. The absence of any advisories across the full history suggests the van has not accumulated the usual worn suspension bushes, corroded brake pipes, or tired exhaust components seen on higher-use examples. Recorded mileage sits at 48,212 against a December 2025 test, equating to roughly 8,000 miles per year since the 2020 build and matching typical light-commercial use. The step from 34,158 miles on 14 November 2023 to 40,288 miles on 2 December 2024 covers just over 6,000 miles in thirteen months, while the final year to December 2025 added 7,924 miles. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The clean record with only two defect-free failures points to an owner who kept the vehicle lightly used and submitted it for testing on schedule rather than deferring maintenance. A buyer should still confirm in person that the brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism operate without binding, given the two failed tests carried no recorded defects and may have involved incomplete examinations. Inspect the front coil springs and lower suspension arms for perished bushes, and check the subframe and sills for structural corrosion despite no advisories being raised. Verify the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as minor consumable wear would not surface on a clean pass but affects immediate running costs. The combination of low annual mileage and zero advisories implies careful previous ownership, though the twin defect-free failures warrant a check of the DVSA failure reasons via the full certificate. Absence of recorded faults is not proof of component health at six years old. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to validate the unseen mechanical items.
