2006 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · KG06 AHA

The most recent MOT test on 7 June 2024 shows a passed result, but the vehicle exhibits a worsening trend of mechanical advisories. While the 2022 test recorded no defects, the subsequent years show an increasing number of issues across multiple systems. The 2024 record identifies five distinct advisory items, including oil leaks, brake disc condition, and suspension component wear, indicating that multiple subsystems are approaching the end of their functional life simultaneously. The vehicle has covered 202,624 miles over its approximately 20-year lifespan, averaging roughly 10,131 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The records provided cover the period from May 2022 to June 2024, showing a consistent testing pattern, though the high cumulative mileage increases the likelihood of wear on drivetrain and suspension components. The MOT history highlights recurring issues that require close physical inspection. An oil leak has been noted in the 2023 and 2024 tests, suggesting a persistent leak that has not been addressed. The suspension system shows signs of progressive degradation, with the 2023 test flagging a defective rear exhaust mounting and a deteriorated CV boot, followed by the 2024 report of corrosion on all four coil springs, misting shock absorbers, and play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. A buyer should specifically examine the underside of the vehicle for the extent of the corrosion on the coil springs and the source of the oil leak. The 2024 advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs suggests the braking hardware is nearing replacement. Given the multiple suspension advisories, a thorough check of all bushings, ball joints, and dampers is necessary to determine the actual level of play and structural integrity of the chassis components.
