2019 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DM19 TPU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT test on 19 January 2026 at 31,151 miles indicates a trend of neglected consumable maintenance. While the car passed the inspection, the tester flagged two separate issues: the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit on the edges, and both outer walls of the rear tyres showed signs of cracking or perishing. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically capable of passing, the owner has been reactive rather than proactive regarding tyre replacement and general upkeep. The mileage history shows a consistent, low-use pattern typical of a vehicle driven approximately 4,450 miles per year. Between the January 2022 test at 18,203 miles and the January 2026 test at 31,151 miles, the vehicle has covered roughly 13,000 miles over four years. This low annual mileage can be beneficial for drivetrain components, but the recurring tyre issues suggest the car may spend long periods stationary, which often leads to the sidewall cracking and perishing noted in both the 2025 and 2026 records. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre condition across all four corners, as the record shows a pattern of uneven wear and age-related degradation. The 2022 advisory for a nearside front tyre worn on the edge, combined with the 2026 report of edge wear on the offside front, may indicate an underlying wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the history of a split windscreen wiper blade in 2023 and various tyre defects, a thorough check of all rubber components, including wiper blades and door seals, is advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from environmental degradation due to infrequent use.
