VAUXHALL CORSA2018 · 1.4L PETROL

The Vauxhall Corsa holds a current MOT pass from 15 October 2025 at 47,364 miles, but the upkeep trend is erratic rather than stable. On 13 October 2025 the same-mileage test failed on near-side front tyre tread below 1.6mm and off-side front tyre worn to the legal edge. The tester passed the car two days later after tyre renewal, yet logged persistent rear bumper damage as a minor defect. Mileage records show light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The 17 October 2022 test at 25,938 miles preceded the 18 October 2023 pass at 33,007 miles, a 7,069-mile gain. The 7 October 2024 examination at 40,461 miles added 7,454 miles, and the 2025 tests reached 47,364 miles with a 6,903-mile increase. This consistent ~7,000-mile annual crawl indicates no long dormant periods or heavy use, reflecting gentle commuting. Recurring faults point to deferred consumable care. The rear number plate drew deterioration notes in October 2022, October 2024 and October 2025, signalling the keeper ignored a trivial replacement. Front tyres drew wear warnings in 2022 and caused a 2025 failure; the buyer must verify tread depth and sidewall condition, confirming the recent tyres are sound. Front brake pads wore thin in the 2022 test but escaped later mention, so inspect pad thickness and disc wear to validate replacement. The rear bumper knock remains cosmetic but check mounts for hidden cracks. Structural and suspension elements stay clean across the record. No advisories cite corrosion, bushes, coil springs or brake binding. The 2018 shell may still harbour age-related rust at sills, so a physical probe is wise. Mechanical integrity looks acceptable beyond the tyre neglect.
