Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While this is a mo
The primary focus for any buyer should be the braking system. The May 2026 MOT explicitly notes that all four brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored, and the rear pads are wearing thin. You should use these data points to negotiate a price reduction or request that the discs and pads be replaced before purchase.
Additionally, verify the current state of the front undertray, which was recorded as broken and not fully secure. Check the service history to see if the nearside front shock absorber, which showed oil misting in 2025, was ever replaced or if it remains a point of concern.
Equipped with a 1499cc Euro 6AP diesel engine, this vehicle is designed for efficiency and is compliant with the latest emissions zones. Fuel economy should be competitive for a vehicle of this size, though diesel prices and AdBlue requirements are factors to consider.
Insurance and road tax will be standard for a small MPV of this age. However, the immediate maintenance costs will be higher than average due to the necessary brake overhaul and undertray repair indicated in the MOT history.
Perform a detailed inspection of the brakes; the MOT history specifically flags pitted and scored discs on all four corners and thin pads on the rear. Check the nearside front tyre for the cuts in the tread mentioned in the May 2026 report, and ensure the offside registration plate lamp is now operational.
Inspect the underside of the front bumper to assess the damage to the undertray. Finally, check the nearside front shock absorber for any signs of leaking oil, following the failure recorded in July 2025.
This blue 2022 Vauxhall Combo Life SE Turbo D has covered 48,048 miles. The MOT history shows a failure in July 2025 related to tyres, wipers, and a shock absorber, and the May 2026 test passed with a substantial list of advisories. These include worn and pitted brake discs on all four wheels and a broken front undertray.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific model is not available; however, this individual vehicle has demonstrated recurring issues with wear-and-tear items.
