2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · CY15 FSN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 93,476 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates a period of stable maintenance following a significant failure in late 2024. While the current record is clean, the transition from a multi-fault failure to a defect-free pass suggests that the previous owner addressed the necessary mechanical and safety issues once they were flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a clear progression of roughly 13,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another nearly 12,500 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular usage suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber components and engine seals, despite the wear noted in the mid-life stage of the vehicle. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and steering components given the history from September 2024. The tester previously identified play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and a damaged dust cover on the offside front track rod end. While these were likely replaced to secure the subsequent pass, a buyer should verify there is no further movement or oil weeping from the offside front shock absorber, which previously showed misting. The oil leak noted in 2024 also warrants close monitoring to ensure it has not progressed from a minor drip to a more significant engine seal failure. The 2024 failure due to perished tyres and incorrect headlamp aim indicates a previous lapse in basic preventative maintenance. Any prospective buyer should check the current tread depth and overall condition of all four tyres to ensure they were replaced with high-quality units. Since the record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake system failures, the primary risks remain the standard wear and tear of the suspension-related components common on a Corsa of this age.
