Faults:

Turbo.

Suspension.

Plus all the usual wear and tear parts replaced for age and miles.

General Comments:

Bought this van used as a works van for trade.

Heavy use, standing up well to everyday loads.

Interior does feel cheap and plasticity, it is however comfortable for a van. Road noise is also suppressed well.

Rear load space wood lined, essential for all vans.

Bit of a blind spot when reversing, but otherwise OK to drive, and 50 miles per gallon on diesel taking it slow with no extra weight; you'll get a bit less fully loaded.

Good motorway cruiser. Not bad looking. Practical with double sliding doors.

For the money, the Combo van has always been a safe bet, and generally reliable if looked after. Glow plugs can fail, that can be expensive, but thankfully has not happened to my van yet.

Faults:

Turbo (replaced under warranty).

Usual wear and tear - brakes, suspension, exhaust, etc.

Glow plugs needed changed recently, acceptable at the mileage.

Sliding side door a bit difficult to close now.

General Comments:

A great works van I have had since nearly new, this Combo Van has been ideal and reliable enough.

Cabin is a bit dated for a 2014 van, but it all works, functional and laid out OK. Seats are comfortable, it is a bit unrefined but cruises on the motorway OK. Surprisingly large blind spot when changing lanes, I had to fit additional side mirror attachments.

1.3 CDTi is not fast but will do a solid 50 mpg all day even when loaded.

The van is OK to drive. The radio and the van itself are unbelievably basic, but I got a good deal on this van. All in all a decent van for everyday use, cannot really fault it, just don't expect anything special and you won't be disappointed.

Faults:

Nothing other than servicing and new tyres at the front. Radio can refuse to come on sometimes. Suspension noise at back corner, will get it checked out soon.

General Comments:

This Combo crew van has all a growing family will ever need. Mine has the 5 seater addition with windows all round, looks much smarter than the plain panel van version you normally see about. Silver with alloy wheels makes all the difference.

Interior feels a little cheap and nasty, but it is a run of the mill Vauxhall. That said I have always found Vauxhall's reliable despite their average image.

Interior is more spacious than your average car. Rear space is limited with the 5 seater option, so do not expect to carry huge loads like its van version counterpart; even adjusting the rear seats does not automatically mean you will get huge loads in. That said it is more than enough for the average family.

The 1.3 CDTi is not fast, but it does do over 55 miles per gallon to make up for it. Handles very well for a van and the suspension soaks up bumps OK.

I've only done 10,000 miles in mine so far and has been reliable; a mate of mine has a van version with the same engine and is on over 100,000 miles with nothing other than the normal wear and tear plus new glow plugs. So I hope mine is just as reliable. If you are looking for modern reliable van like transport, these Combo Van's are ideal, and they come is so many different variants for your style to choose from, highly recommended.
