2017 VAUXHALL CORSA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 14 January 2026 at 51,576 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of addressing specific mechanical issues rather than a systemic decline in upkeep. Previous failures regarding steering and braking components were resolved before subsequent tests, suggesting the owner responds to official advisories and failure notices. The mileage history indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,731 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. The recorded progression from 29,824 miles in February 2022 to 51,576 miles in January 2026 shows consistent, albeit light, use. This low-mileage profile reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can occasionally lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components due to age rather than distance. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and steering components. The January 2025 test flagged a pitted or scored offside front brake disc and a perishing offside rear tyre. While these were cleared in the 2026 test, a buyer should check the remaining brake discs and pads for uneven wear or surface corrosion. The failure in January 2024 due to excessive play in the offside front track rod end suggests the steering geometry has been previously compromised, so checking for any lingering play in the steering rack or suspension bushes is advisable. The 2025 failure regarding insufficient washer fluid indicates a minor oversight in basic consumables. Given the low mileage and the successful resolution of previous mechanical failures, the vehicle appears well-maintained, but the buyer should verify that the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking, as the 2025 record highlighted age-related perishing.
