2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DA11 ULK

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 showed the vehicle passed with minor issues: an oil leak (not excessive) and perishing on both rear tyres. These same defects were also recorded in the prior MOT on 2025-11-05, which resulted in a failure. The oil leak and tyre perishing have persisted across multiple inspections, suggesting ongoing maintenance concerns. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear and perishing, particularly on the rear tyres, which have been flagged in four out of six MOT entries. An oil leak, though not severe, has also reappeared in both failure and pass results. Suspension components like the anti-roll bar dust covers were cited in the 2025-11-05 failure but do not appear in the latest pass, indicating potential repairs. However, the persistence of tyre and oil-related issues implies unresolved underlying factors. The trend shows some improvement in addressing specific defects (e.g., anti-roll bar covers) but recurring issues with tyres and oil leaks. The vehicle’s mileage of 96,688 miles (roughly 6,446 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for its 15-year age, suggesting no extreme under-use or heavy wear. However, the repeated tyre perishing may indicate exposure to harsh conditions or age-related degradation rather than mileage alone.
