2018 VAUXHALL CORSA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 38,279 miles was a pass, it revealed recurring issues with tyre condition. These faults mirror advisories from the September 2024 test at 33,658 miles, indicating that the owner is neglecting routine tyre replacements until they approach legal limits. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,785 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2021 (11,918 miles) and September 2022 (17,430 miles), where the car covered only 5,512 miles. This low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which explains the perishing and cracking of the offside rear tyre noted in both 2024 and 2025 records. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and steering, as the repeated uneven wear on the nearside front tyre suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The failure in September 2023 due to an ineffective wiper blade highlights a pattern of addressing minor defects only after they fail a test. Given the low mileage, the buyer must also check brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit for long periods.
