2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DF14 FJE

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2026 at 72,955 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a mechanical failure in the previous year, indicating an improving maintenance trend where identified faults were addressed. The transition from a failed test to a clean pass suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying necessary repairs to maintain the vehicle to safety standards. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,955 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,080 miles. This low usage is consistent with light commuting or city patterns, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 5,500 to 8,000 miles covered between tests from 2023 to 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation that can lead to component degradation. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly where recurring issues were previously noted. The May 2025 failure highlighted an excessively worn nearside front drive shaft joint and a worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While these were repaired prior to the 2026 pass, a buyer should check for any remaining play in the steering or knocking over bumps. Additionally, the offside front shock absorber showed light oil misting in 2025; this should be monitored closely to ensure the seal has not progressed to a significant leak that would require replacement.
