2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · BV68 DGO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on November 3, 2025 with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. Prior to that pass, in November 2025, the car failed on three significant points, including a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, deteriorated dust covers on both front track rod end ball joints, and the presence of mismatched tyres on the rear axle. These major defects were rectified to allow the retest pass on the same day. With a recorded mileage of 30,938 miles over an eight-year period, the vehicle has averaged only approximately 3,867 miles per year. This low annual usage often correlates with the physical degradation of rubber components and fluids as seen in the record. The November 2023 failure for a nearside front tyre with tread depth below 1.6mm and the subsequent 2024 advisory for a cracking offside rear tyre suggest that the tyres may be suffering from age-related perish rather than simple mileage wear. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly, as the track rod end ball joint dust covers were flagged across three consecutive years between 2023 and 2025. The buyer must also verify the condition of the front braking system, as the 2023 record noted pitted brake discs and thin pads. Given the failure for mismatched rear tyres in 2025, it is necessary to ensure all four tyres are of the same size, specification, and age to maintain vehicle stability and correct sensor operation. Buying score: 48 Risk level: Medium.
