2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DN17 OFG

The vehicle currently falls into the 'unroadworthy' category, but its maintenance history demonstrates a clear trend of worsening condition rather than a stable one. The most recent test on 2026-04-14, which was performed at 86,100 miles, resulted in a failure of the offside front lower suspension arm pin bush, indicating that the suspension components have deteriorated significantly since the previous passing test. This suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to increased stress or wear without regular professional intervention, leading to a progressive degradation of structural integrity. The mileage accumulation rate appears consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately 9 years, averaging roughly 9,567 miles per year. While the 2026 test at 86,100 miles is the latest recorded figure, the absence of a 2025 test record means this vehicle has not been tested in a full 12-month period. Consequently, the data is sparse, but the consistent pattern of failures on the 2025-04-07 and 2026-04-14 dates indicates that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced to maintain its mechanical state. The lack of a passing MOT in 2025 suggests that the vehicle has been driven for over a year and has not undergone the necessary preventative maintenance. Given the recurring faults and the progressive nature of the damage, the vehicle should be inspected by a professional to identify specific points of failure such as worn suspension bushes, seized brakes, or fluid leaks. A buyer must be prepared for a full diagnostic appointment, which will likely require the vehicle to be towed to a MOT-approved facility. The inspection will focus on the lower suspension, brake systems, and exhaust emissions, as these are the primary components flagged in the MOT history. The lack of a passing MOT in 2025 combined with the severe failures in 2026 indicates that the vehicle is in a state of imminent risk of breakdown, necessitating immediate and thorough professional assessment.
