2016 VAUXHALL CORSA1.4L Petrol

This Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes since February 2023. The most recent test on 25 March 2025 at 77,959 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 24 March 2025 and 21 March 2024, these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day. The absence of recorded defects during these failures suggests minor administrative or quick-fix issues rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,796 miles per year. Between February 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 8,074 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight increase in usage, with 4,493 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which generally prevents the perishing of rubber components and prevents braking systems from seizing due to prolonged inactivity. The MOT history is unusually clean for a ten year old vehicle, showing no advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread depth. This lack of recorded wear suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. However, the absence of any flagged items over three years does not guarantee perfection. A buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for surface corrosion, as these are common weak points for this model that may not always trigger a failure if they remain superficial. Focus a physical inspection on the consumables that typically wear around the 80,000 mile mark. Check the condition of the coil springs and the fluidity of the suspension travel. Verify the remaining thickness of the brake pads and discs, as the record provides no data on their current state. Given the clean history, the primary goal is to ensure that the lack of recorded defects reflects genuine mechanical health rather than a lenient testing regime.
