2014 VAUXHALL CORSA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass dated 15 April 2026 at 94,996 miles with no structural or mechanical defects recorded, indicating the car is roadworthy at the time of writing. The maintenance trend shows clear improvement following a severe suspension failure in May 2023 that fractured both front coil springs and caused leaking shock absorbers and worn bushes. After that major repair, the car passed cleanly in 2024 and April 2025 before failing again in April 2025 on tyre tread and brake imbalance, issues that were resolved by the most recent test three months ago. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year across the full history. The only notable spike occurred between May 2022 and May 2023, when the odometer jumped from 47,096 to 60,117 miles, a 13,000-mile year that coincides with the suspension failures and suggests heavier use during that period. No extended gaps appear in the record that would indicate prolonged storage, which helps rule out issues such as seized brakes or degraded fluids from long inactivity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension components given the 2023 history of fractured coil springs and shock absorber failures, checking for any signs of repeat cracking, corrosion, or leakage. The brakes and tyres warrant close attention because the April 2025 test flagged front brake imbalance exceeding 50 per cent and both front tyres worn to 2 millimetres at the edges, patterns that suggest possible alignment or suspension geometry issues if they recur. The exhaust system showed corrosion in 2020 and the rear stop lamp failed in the same test, so a buyer should verify the current condition of the exhaust pipes and silencer and confirm all lighting circuits function correctly before purchase.
