2021 Vauxhall Corsa Elite NAV 1.2L Petrol · BD21 JVR

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the 13 April 2026 MOT, passing with a single advisory for light oil misting on the near‑side rear shock absorber. No safety‑critical failures appear, and the absence of new defects across three consecutive annual tests indicates a stable maintenance pattern. Mileage has risen from 11,440 miles in April 2024 to 18,369 miles in April 2025 and 24,040 miles in April 2026, averaging roughly 4,800 miles per year. This low annual accumulation aligns with the car’s five‑year age and suggests limited exposure rather than heavy use. The record shows no abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps, reinforcing the impression of consistent, light‑duty operation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the near‑side rear shock absorber, confirming that the oil mist does not indicate a developing leak or deteriorating seals. Inspect the near‑side front tyre for tread depth and edge wear, as the 2025 advisory flagged it close to the legal limit. A visual check of suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear will verify that the minor issues noted have not progressed. Confirming the overall structural integrity and the condition of consumables will provide confidence that the vehicle’s low‑mileage, well‑maintained history translates into reliable on‑road performance.
