Vauxhall Combo versions

The Vauxhall Combo Tour Essentia has its own page. The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records under that version’s name.

Vauxhall Combo MOT reliability

We do not show MOT figures for the Vauxhall Combo. 89% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.

Vauxhall Combo engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 15,858 Vauxhall Combos licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 37.4% have an engine of 1,401cc to 1,500cc, and 27.1% have an engine of 1,101cc to 1,200cc. The share with an engine of 1,201cc to 1,300cc has fallen from 47.9% in 2014 to 3.0%. Diesels made up 91.2% of those licensed in 2014 and 42.0% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Vauxhall Combo fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Vauxhall Combo from 2005, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2024 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its diesel versions ranges from 43.5 to 54.3 mpg, with CO2 of 135 to 170 g/km; electric versions have an official range of 180 to 220 miles. On the older NEDC test (listings 2005 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 45.6 to 65.7 mpg, with CO2 of 113 to 148 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
• VCA’s data has no Vauxhall versions for 2019 to 2023, so the years listed may leave out years the Vauxhall Combo was on sale.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Combo Life”, “Combo Model Year 2009”, “Combo, MY2005”, “Combo, MY2007”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Vauxhall Combo safety recalls

DVSA lists 36 safety recalls for the Vauxhall Combo since 1992, the first in 1995. The most recent was launched on 19 August 2026.

All 36 Vauxhall Combo recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

89% of the Vauxhall Combos on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Vauxhall Combo. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
