2020 Vauxhall Combo 1.5L Diesel · WD69 GTF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglect in preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 44,414 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories regarding thin front brake pads and unevenly worn tyres. This represents a departure from the clean records seen between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the current owner is only addressing components once they reach the point of failure or advisory status rather than performing scheduled maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use light commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between March 2023 and April 2024, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in just thirteen months, followed by a more relaxed pace of roughly 8,800 miles over the following year. The low overall mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine components have minimal mechanical wear, but the periods of standing may have contributed to the rubber perishing and tyre structural failures evidenced in the 2024 failure. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and steering geometry, as the 2024 failure revealed a broken and insecure slam panel mounting alongside multiple structural tyre deformations. The 2026 advisory for edge-worn inner tyres necessitates a closer look at the alignment and suspension bushes to ensure no component is causing uneven scrubbing. Furthermore, the front brake pads require immediate replacement, and the discs should be checked for scoring or thinning caused by allowing the pads to run down to the limit.
