2021 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · ND21 PCZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, but the MOT record indicates a trend of worsening maintenance. The most recent test on 2026-04-01 at 49,018 miles passed without defects, yet the subsequent tests on 2026-03-30 and 2025-04-10 failed, with the second failure occurring 1.5 years prior. This sequence suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped between the initial inspection and the most recent one, potentially leading to accelerated wear on critical components like suspension and brakes. Regarding mileage, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 49,018 miles since its initial MOT, which is consistent with its age of roughly five years. While the mileage is within typical parameters for this age group, the gap between the 2026-04-01 and 2026-03-30 tests indicates that the car has not been maintained for about 11 months since the most recent check. The rapid accumulation of miles over a single year, coupled with the failure of the engine and suspension systems, suggests that the vehicle may be running on a 'driving on the road' pattern rather than a 'driving in the park' pattern, where maintenance would be performed more frequently. Given the recurring failures in the engine and suspension systems, the vehicle requires immediate inspection for structural integrity and mechanical risks. The engine MIL inoperative condition on the 2026-03-30 test indicates a serious mechanical issue that must be addressed before any driving is permitted. Similarly, the failure of the windscreen washer and the thin brake pads on both sides of the rear indicate that the braking system is at risk of failure soon. The nearside front headlamp aiming error on the 2025-04-10 test further confirms that the vehicle's drivetrain and lighting systems are not in optimal condition. A buyer must inspect the car for structural rust, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for binding, and verify that the brake discs and calipers are free from corrosion, as these components are highly susceptible to failure under the current maintenance pattern.
