2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DB51 REF

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a history of clean passes and minimal advisories. This stability is reflected in the most recent test on 31 October 2025, which resulted in a pass, although a specific advisory was noted regarding the offside front tyre. The recorded mileage of 43,413 miles over nine years indicates a low usage profile, averaging approximately 4,824 miles per annum. Such low mileage typically results in reduced mechanical wear on the engine and transmission compared to high-mileage equivalents, though it can lead to the degradation of perishable rubber components due to age rather than operational wear. Inspection should focus on the consumables flagged in the MOT history. Both front brake pads were recorded as wearing thin in October 2022, and the offside front tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge in October 2025. A buyer should confirm whether these components have been replaced. During a test drive, listen for any metallic grinding or feel for vibrations through the brake pedal, which would indicate that the pads remain worn or the discs are scored. The specific mention of edge wear on the offside front tyre warrants a check of the vehicle's tracking and suspension geometry. During the test drive, observe if the car pulls to one side or if the steering wheel is not centered while travelling straight. A physical inspection of the tyre tread across its entire width is necessary to ensure the wear pattern has been corrected and the tyre is now within legal limits.
