2019 VAUXHALL CORSA1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test on 3 June 2026 at 61,014 miles, it failed just sixteen days prior due to multiple safety and operational defects. The recurring nature of the rear seat belt failure across both the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests a pattern where the owner only addresses safety-critical items when forced to by an MOT failure. The mileage progression is consistent with typical light-use patterns, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year over its seven-year lifespan. The car covered 5,441 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 5,493 miles in the year leading up to the June 2026 test. This low mileage generally limits mechanical wear, yet the April 2025 failure noted an empty coolant bottle and steam emanating from the dashboard, indicating a potential leak or head gasket issue that was merely topped up for the inspection. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry, as both the nearside and offside front tyres have been flagged for uneven wear and reaching the legal limit in two consecutive years. This often points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes that will continue to scrub new rubber. Furthermore, the cooling system requires a professional pressure test to ensure the steam reported in 2025 has been properly rectified. The central rear seat belt must also be physically checked for locking functionality, as it has been a persistent failure point in the vehicle's history.
