2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · BN14 TZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 104,334 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs where the owner addresses faults only upon a test failure. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the failure just two days prior in December 2025 regarding low service brake efficiency and multiple lighting failures indicates that the vehicle is maintained to the minimum standard for legal compliance rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's twelve-year age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The record shows steady annual progression, moving from 70,873 miles in late 2021 to 104,334 miles by late 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the six-figure mileage mark now places the vehicle at a stage where wear on heavy-duty components is more likely. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension, as the history shows significantly worn front discs in 2022 and fractured rear coil springs in 2021. The low brake efficiency noted in the December 2025 failure suggests the calipers or master cylinder may require attention despite the subsequent pass. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak flagged in 2024 warrants a check of the engine gaskets and sump to ensure the leak has not worsened into a significant fault. Lighting issues appear frequently, with stop lamp, indicator, and plate lamp failures spanning multiple years, suggesting potential wiring corrosion or poor bulb replacement habits. The buyer should also verify the condition of the windscreen chips noted in 2024 and check the central rear seat belt buckle for mechanical damage. Given the age and mileage, a thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, although no structural failures have been recorded to date.
