2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · NU17 AEK

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy, as the most recent 2025‑10‑10 test recorded multiple failures including an inoperative engine MIL, an electronic stability control fault, excessive play in both front track rod ends, and an offside front tyre with tread below the 1.6 mm legal limit. The maintenance trend over the past five years shows recurring mechanical and electronic issues rather than improvement, indicating persistent neglect of critical components. The mileage has risen from 23,222 mi in May 2021 to 56,809 mi by October 2025, averaging about 6,300 mi per year, which is typical for a nine‑year‑old car. However, mileage accelerated sharply after July 2022, climbing from 31,536 mi to 47,769 mi in 11 months, and then to 56,809 mi in the following 15 months, suggesting intensified use or extended periods of standing that were not captured by earlier MOTs. A buyer should inspect the front suspension components, particularly the track rod ends, for excessive play, verify tyre tread depth on all wheels, and examine brake discs and pads for wear beyond the recorded “worn but not excessive” status. Diagnostic checks of the ABS and SRS warning lamps are essential, as are functional tests of the windscreen wipers and verification that the child seat does not impede adult belt inspection. In summary, the car displays a deteriorating record with safety‑critical suspension, braking, and electronic faults, and the recent mileage surge may have accelerated component wear; a thorough in‑person assessment of suspension health, tyre condition, brake wear, ABS/SRS diagnostics, and wiper operation is required before any purchase decision.
