Used Vauxhall Combo Life for sale

What types of used Vauxhall Combo Life cars are there?

Vauxhall’s Combo Life has had a long life spanning back to 1986 where it started as an Opel. But modern versions (2016-present) are much more sophisticated and practical. 

Recent iterations can be had in a range of trims: Design, Energy and Elite, while the all-electric version is only offered in SE and SE XL trim. 

What features does the Vauxhall Combo Life have?

Being a well-sized van-like MPV, the Vauxhall Combo Life is excellent for transporting lots of people and large items/luggage. 

Entry-level Design models keep it simple and are much more like vans, but step up to the higher-spec Energy model and you get an eight-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and an inbuilt sat-nav. 

Touching on practicality, aside from its massive 2,126-litre maximum boot space, the Combo Life also has an astonishing 28 different storage areas hidden throughout the car – making it one of the best cars for road trips or moving house.  

Is the Vauxhall Combo Life reliable?

Being part of the wider Stellantis family, Vauxhall has very few issues with reliability. This is thanks to tried-and-tested parts throughout, and some great engine options. 

As for safety, the Combo Life scored four out of five stars following its most recent Euro NCAP crash test, offering high levels of protection for both adult and child occupants. This is thanks to ISOFIX points, plenty of airbags, and automatic emergency braking (AEB). 

How much does the Vauxhall Combo Life cost to run?

There are a few different engine options available in the Vauxhall Combo range, comprising a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol (with a six-speed manual gearbox) or two 1.5-litre turbocharged diesels that produce either 100hp or 130hp (with a manual or eight-speed automatic).  

Now, there’s an electric version that has a range of 174 miles and the ability to use a 100kW rapid charger to get from 0-80% in around 30 minutes.  

Charging at home is cheaper at around £34/kWh, whereas charging at a faster public charger will cost you £75/kWh. 

Who is the Vauxhall Combo Life suitable for?

A used Vauxhall Combo Life is best for those who need serious amounts of space on a budget. If you need up to seven seats or a massive boot, then the Combo Life is for you – offering van-like practicality in a family MPV.
