Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize reviewing the full service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed regularly, given the mileage is approaching 70,000. Check that the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears without hesitation or jerking.
Verify the condition of the interior upholstery and sliding door mechanisms, as these are high-use areas in this model. Since the vehicle is a petrol variant, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay during your viewing.
The 1199cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, though the automatic gearbox may result in slightly higher fuel consumption than a manual equivalent. As a Euro 6 vehicle, it is compliant with most UK low-emission zones, reducing potential daily charges.
Annual costs will include road tax based on CO2 emissions and insurance, which typically falls into a mid-range group for family vehicles. Maintenance costs should remain standard for a small-capacity petrol engine, with the estimated annual running cost falling between £1,200 and £1,600.
Start by checking all exterior lighting, specifically the nearside headlamp on dipped beam, which caused an MOT failure in January 2026. While the recent records show no defects, it is prudent to ensure all bulbs and lenses are now fully operational.
Inspect the tyres and brake pads for wear; although no advisories were recorded in the MOT history, the mileage of nearly 70,000 suggests these consumables may be due for replacement soon. Finally, check the seals around the windows and doors to ensure there are no leaks, common in high-roof vehicles.
This blue 2020 Vauxhall Combo Life Energy is a Euro 6 petrol vehicle with 69,914 miles recorded at its last test. The MOT history is consistent, showing three consecutive passes with no defects before a minor failure and subsequent pass in January 2026. It offers a transparent record of roadworthiness for a vehicle of this age.
While aggregate data for this specific trim is unavailable, this individual vehicle has demonstrated a consistent ability to pass MOT tests with minimal issues.
