2021 Vauxhall Combo 2000 Sportive TD 1.5L Diesel · SD71 OEH

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 16 October 2025 at 69,699 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a failure just one day prior due to a nearside front suspension arm pin or bush being excessively worn. The fact that the defect was rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures rather than allowing faults to persist between tests. At 69,699 miles over five years, this vehicle averages approximately 14,000 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a light commercial vehicle. Between the October 2024 test at 54,355 miles and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered 15,344 miles, indicating consistent and heavy-duty usage patterns. This level of mileage typically accelerates the wear on suspension components, brake hardware, and drivetrain-related bushings compared to lower-mileage examples. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front geometry to ensure the replaced suspension arm has not resulted in secondary wear on related components. Given the high mileage and the previous failure of the arm bush, check for play in the steering tie ends and signs of uneven tyre wear. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning or scoring, as the high annual mileage puts significant thermal stress on the braking system of a commercial vehicle of this age.
