2016 VAUXHALL CORSA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record following a minor setback. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2025 at 82,689 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car is currently meeting all statutory requirements. While a failure was recorded earlier in May 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to maintain road legality. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,269 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 52,991 miles and the May 2024 test at 68,017 miles, the vehicle covered 15,026 miles, followed by a similar interval of 14,672 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regularity suggests consistent driving rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent internal engine issues and brake seals from seizing. Although the recent history is clean, the buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure in May 2024 at 68,017 miles to ensure it was not a recurring mechanical weakness. Given the age and Corsa, a physical inspection should focus on the state of corrosion on the underside and exhaust system, as these are common areas of concern for this model. With the vehicle now exceeding 80,000 miles, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and looking for play in the steering components is also advisable to confirm the long-term integrity of the drivetrain.
