2022 Vauxhall Combo 2300 Edition TD 1.5L Diesel · YP71 SNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than preventative service pattern. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 70,879 miles passed, it revealed a severely deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot. This follows a failure in January 2025 where multiple mechanical bald items were identified. The trend suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or require legal intervention. The vehicle has covered significant mileage for its four-year age, averaging approximately 17,700 miles per year. A notable surge in usage is evident between January 2025 and December 2025, during which the vehicle travelled 21,604 miles in just eleven months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial or long-distance commuting use, which accelerates the wear on suspension components, braking assemblies, and the drivetrain compared to lower-mileage examples of the same model. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and the front drivetrain. The January 2025 test flagged pitted and scored discs on both the front and offside rear, along with thin front pads and a failed nearside rear pad. Given the high mileage, the buyer should verify if these components were actually replaced or if they are nearing thinning again. Furthermore, the deteriorated CV boot noted in the December 2025 test must be checked to ensure no grease leakage has occurred, which would lead to rapid drive joint failure and expensive repair costs.
