2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DY17 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent test. The January 2026 test at 99,318 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a brief failure on 29 January 2026 at 99,315 miles. This failure, despite having no specific defects listed, suggests a minor non-compliance was rectified immediately before the successful retest. The absence of advisories or failures regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting over the last four years indicates a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 11,035 miles per year on average. The data shows a steady increase from 65,370 miles in January 2023 to 79,381 miles in January 2025, followed by a more significant increase to 99,318 miles by January 2026. This recent jump of nearly 20,000 miles in a single year suggests a change in driving patterns or a shift toward higher annual mileage, which increases the wear rate on consumable components. A buyer should focus on inspecting high-wear items that typically require attention as a vehicle approaches the 100,000-mile mark. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of fatigue or leakage. The braking system, specifically the discs and pads, requires a physical inspection for uneven wear or binding. While the MOT record is clean, the increased usage warrants a thorough check of the drive belts and various rubber hoses for cracking or degradation.
