2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DA18 CEJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in March 2026 at 58,153 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable over several years, the most recent inspection revealed a sudden lapse in preventative care. The car failed just one day prior at 58,131 miles for a fractured offside front coil spring and front tyres reaching the legal tread limit with uneven wear. This suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they became an immediate test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation between February 2023 and March 2026, with the car covering roughly 18,400 miles in that three-year period. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long stationary periods, which helps prevent brake seizing and internal corrosion. However, the rapid turnaround between the failure and pass in March 2026 indicates the repairs were performed reactively to the failure. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the fractured coil spring was replaced correctly and that associated components, such as shock absorbers and mounting bolts, were not damaged by the failure. The uneven tyre wear noted on the front axle indicates a potential alignment issue that may require a professional wheel geometry check to prevent premature wear of new tyres. Check the remaining tread depth on all other tyres, as the history shows the previous owner allowed them to run to the legal limit before replacement.
