2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DG67 ADO

The vehicle's maintenance trend shows signs of worsening mechanical deterioration despite a recent pass. While the October 2025 test at 43,835 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle had previously failed that same test due to a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber and an electronic stability control warning lamp. This indicates a recent period of mechanical instability where critical systems required attention to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,871 miles per year. The record shows a steady, predictable increase from 17,952 miles in 2020 to 43,835 miles in late 2025. This low annual usage suggests the car has seen light road use, though the lack of high-mileage driving can sometimes lead to issues such as perished rubber components or seized components due to infrequent operation. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension system and steering components. The record shows a recurring pattern of shock absorber issues, progressing from light misting in 2022 and 2023 to a serious fluid leak in 2025. Additionally, the history of damaged track rod end dust covers in 2023 suggests the steering assembly has faced environmental wear. Finally, inspect the braking system and tyres thoroughly. The 2025 test flagged both front brake discs as being worn, albeit not excessively. Given the history of tyre degradation and perishing noted in 2023, a physical inspection of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and the condition of the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear is essential to ensure the vehicle's current state matches its recent MOT results.
