2021 Vauxhall Combo Life Elite S/S Auto 1.2L Petrol · SO70 EDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 47,696 miles was a pass, it introduced multiple defects that were absent in previous years. The appearance of a nearside rear brake disc being pitted and scored, alongside both rear tyres reaching the legal limit, suggests that the owner is only addressing components once they approach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 32,285 miles and the February 2025 test at 39,686 miles, the vehicle covered 7,401 miles. The subsequent interval saw 8,010 miles covered before the March 2026 test. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods, which explains the gradual wear observed on consumable items like tyres and braking hardware. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system and suspension assembly. The 2026 test flagged the nearside rear brake disc as worn and pitted, and the recurring mention of worn tyre edges across 2025 and 2026 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Check for uneven tyre wear across the front axle as well, as the history shows a pattern of neglecting tread depth-related components. The deteriorated rear registration plate also requires immediate replacement to ensure compliance with visibility standards.
