2014 Vauxhall Combo Van Panel Van L1H1 1.3 CDTi from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Good works vehicle
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.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

They are good vans, I had one a while ago, was slightly more reliable than a Transit Connect I had a few years previously. But they are all similar these days.
