Our Verdict

This Vauxhall Combo is a viable prospect

When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise the suspension components. The 2024 MOT failure for a fractured nearside front coil spring indicates that the front end is subject to significant wear, which is common in commercial vehicles. Ensure you check that both front springs were inspected or replaced, as it is standard practice to replace these in pairs.

Additionally, review the physical condition of the windscreen. While the 2024 advisory noted that the damage did not affect the driver's view, it is worth confirming if this has worsened or been repaired. Always request to see any available service invoices to verify that the suspension work was carried out by a qualified technician.

As a 1.3-litre diesel, this Combo is designed for efficiency, though tax and insurance will vary based on your personal circumstances and usage profile. Being a commercial vehicle, you should factor in potential costs for VED and business-specific insurance premiums.

Maintenance costs for this model are generally mid-range, but the high mileage means you should budget for potential wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, discs, and tyres. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,400-£1,700 depending on annual mileage.

Focus your inspection on the front suspension, specifically looking for signs of corrosion or recent repair work around the coil springs. Given the 2024 MOT failure, ensure the vehicle sits level and that there are no unusual noises when driving over uneven surfaces.

Check the exterior bodywork for signs of heavy use, as this is a commercial vehicle. Inspect the windscreen for any spreading cracks or chips that were previously noted as advisories. Finally, check the engine bay for any leaks, particularly around the diesel fuel system, which is a common area of concern for high-mileage diesel engines of this age.

Registered in March 2017, this silver 1.3-litre diesel Vauxhall Combo has covered 98,479 miles. The vehicle has a consistent MOT history with only one failure recorded in the last four years. It represents a functional utility vehicle that has remained roadworthy throughout its documented testing period.

There is no specific aggregate reliability data available for this generation of the Vauxhall Combo, though the MOT history for this specific unit shows a typical pattern of wear-related maintenance.
