2021 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · RX71 EFT

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 25 October 2025 at 23,976 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend after a brief failure on the same day in the previous year. The fact that the vehicle passed a clean test following the failure suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing any identified mechanical faults to bring the van back to legal roadworthiness standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, the van covered only 3,755 miles, which is consistent with a low-usage pattern. This pattern suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short-distance local trips or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing-age vehicles can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion on braking hardware. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection to check for signs of brake corrosion or flat spotting on the tyres, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently. Although the recent records show no defects, the failure on 31 October 2024 at 20,219 miles indicates a specific component required attention at that time. Focus the inspection on the suspension bushes and exhaust system for cracking or perish, ensuring the low mileage has not resulted in material brittleness despite the lack of mechanical wear.
