2021 Vauxhall Corsa Griffin 1.2L Petrol · AO71 BXU

The 2026‑04‑10 MOT at 29,580 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the Vauxhall Corsa Griffin remains road‑legal despite noted tyre defects. The vehicle has passed each of the three consecutive tests, indicating a stable maintenance record, though the recurring tyre damage suggests a pattern of neglect rather than improvement. Mileage has risen from 20,938 miles in the April 2024 test to 24,600 miles by April 2025 (3,662 miles in one year) and to 29,580 miles by April 2026 (4,980 miles in the following year), showing a modest acceleration in usage while still averaging just under 6,000 miles annually for a five‑year‑old car. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the subframes and sills. The repeated tyre failures also merit a close look at wheel alignment, impact damage, and the condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth. Overall, the Corsa’s low mileage and clean test outcomes point to a vehicle that has been cared for, but the persistent tyre issues and the need to verify suspension and brake integrity mean a thorough in‑person inspection is essential before purchase.
