2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · HN14 AEA

The 2026‑07‑08 MOT at 89,205 miles passed with no defects recorded, showing that the vehicle has moved beyond the series of advisories that appeared in the 2024‑09‑30 failure and the 2024‑10‑23 test. Since the 2024‑09‑30 failure, which listed worn brake pads, pitted discs, a deteriorated rear brake hose, tyres near the legal limit, corroded coil springs and worn strut bushes, the 2024‑10‑23 and subsequent 2025‑07‑11 and 2026‑07‑08 tests have all been passed without any defects, indicating that the previously noted wear items have either been remedied or are no longer considered serious. Mileage accumulation has been steady over the twelve‑year life of the car, rising from 60,250 miles in October 2020 to 89,205 miles by July 2026, a gain of roughly 29,000 miles or 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no extended periods without a test; the annual MOT schedule has been maintained, with the only notable gap being the two‑month interval between the 2024‑10‑04 and 2024‑10‑23 tests, during which the mileage increased by just 608 miles. A buyer should therefore focus on the components that repeatedly appeared as advisories: the front brake pads and discs, which have been noted as thin or pitted in every test since 2022, the rear brake hose showing slight deterioration, the coil springs exhibiting surface corrosion that may affect structural integrity, and the MacPherson strut bushes and pins that have shown wear without causing excessive movement. Inspection of tyre tread depth and edge wear, verification of the track rod end dust cover condition, and a physical check for play in the suspension joints are essential to confirm that the recorded advisories have been fully addressed.
