2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · BK64 MHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 73,075 miles, it failed just two days prior with multiple significant defects including lighting, braking, and suspension components. The trend shows recurring mechanical issues, such as track rod ends and brake imbalances, that persist or reappear across several testing cycles, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when forced to by an imminent MOT failure. At 73,075 miles, this twelve-year-old vehicle averages approximately 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low-use urban driving. The mileage progression shows steady growth, with roughly 2,500 miles covered between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 2,500 miles leading into October 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and seals, which is evidenced by the persistent shock absorber misting and oil leaks noted in the record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as both the nearside and offside top mounts were flagged for play in late 2025. The repeated failure of track rod end dust covers in 2023 and 2025 indicates potential wear in the steering linkage. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the 2025 failure due to no recorded effort at the offside rear wheel and an axle-wide imbalance suggests a seized caliper or significant corrosion in the hydraulic lines. Furthermore, the nearside rear tyre has been flagged as nearing the legal limit in every test since 2023, indicating either an alignment issue or simple neglect of basic consumable maintenance.
