Depreciation curve
We class the Opel Combo as a weak-franchise mainstream in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 60% after three years and 46% after five. Perfectly good cars weighed down by dealer-network and parts-cost perception on the used market.

Opel's compact panel van and Combo Life passenger version arrived in 2019 with a 1.6 turbodiesel. It carried an International Van of the Year title, yet SA fleet buyers stayed loyal to the Caddy and NP200. The range was quietly dropped when Opel SA rationalised its lineup.
