2016 VAUXHALL CORSA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend toward emerging mechanical issues. While the most recent MOT in October 2025 at 78,911 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged a front oil leak and noted slight play in both the nearside and offside front top mounts. This indicates a recurring pattern regarding the front suspension assembly, as similar issues with top mounting bushes were flagged during a failure in October 2020 at 37,925 miles. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern, averaging approximately 7,891 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 33,033 miles in April 2019 to the current 78,911 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the vehicle has transitioned from a period of clean certificates in 2021 and 2022 to more frequent advisories and failures in the most recent two years. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and engine bay. The presence of an oil leak and play in the top mounts suggests that the front-end components are nearing the end of their service life or require immediate attention to prevent further deterioration. The history of windscreen damage and tyre wear issues suggests minor consumable maintenance has been addressed, but the current oil leak and suspension play represent more significant mechanical concerns that require professional diagnosis.
