2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DF67 XGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on July 29, 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though a specific failure recorded on that same date indicates a lapse in preventative suspension inspections. The tester initially flagged both the nearside and offside track rod end ball joint dust covers as excessively damaged, allowing for the ingress of dirt. The subsequent pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed and rectified these minor steering components immediately to meet safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,864 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 11,642 miles and July 2025 at 14,913 miles, the car covered only 3,271 miles. This pattern suggests infrequent use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake calipers seizing due to a lack of heat cycles and mechanical friction typically generated by regular operation. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension assembly for signs of perished rubber or corrosion, given the previous failure of the track rod ends. Because the vehicle sits for long periods, it is vital to check the brake discs for surface pitting and to ensure the calipers are not binding. You should also verify the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as low-mileage cars suffer from age-related rubber degradation before the tread depth is exhausted.
