The VAUXHALL COMBO TOURER (2007-11) 5DR MPV 1.3 CDTI 16V 1700 AUTO is a compact, van-based people carrier: more practical than a conventional hatchback, but easier to place in town than a large family MPV. Its upright shape and five-door layout put space and everyday usefulness ahead of sporty looks, making this an unusual choice in the used-car market. The 1.3-litre diesel and automatic gearbox should appeal to drivers seeking relaxed, economical day-to-day transport, while its roomy cabin suits small families, carers or anyone needing flexible passenger space without moving up to a bulky van. Compared with rivals such as the Renault Kangoo and Citroën Berlingo, the Combo Tourer is a straightforward, practical alternative. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 88 checks covering 55 distinct VINs, a snapshot of buyer interest.
