2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DL14 YTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 16 June 2025 with 61,370 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. The car failed testing just three days prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring, which was promptly rectified to secure the pass. While the most recent result is clean, the previous year indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in a formal MOT test failure. At approximately twelve years old, the recorded 61,370 miles represents a low annual average of roughly 5,100 miles. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or sat for extended periods, which can often accelerate the degradation of rubber components. Between the June 2023 test at 52,123 miles and the June 2024 test at 56,626 miles, the car covered under 4,500 miles, consistent with a low-usage profile. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The 2024 records flagged widespread corrosion on both front and rear coil springs, alongside pitted front brake discs and a lagging nearside front caliper. Because these issues appeared together, the buyer should check for structural rust on the exhaust system and suspension mounting points. The previous mention of a perishing offside rear tyre in 2024 also indicates that the low mileage may have masked age-related rubber rot rather than tread wear, necessitating a check of the tyre sidewalls across all wheels.
