2019 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DN19 OYH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 26 May 2026 at 51,043 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable but deteriorating condition regarding the suspension system. While the nearside rear shock absorber showed light misting of oil in 2024 and persisted into the 2026 test, the offside front shock absorber began to leak by May 2025. This suggests a gradual failure of the dampening units across the platform rather than an isolated incident. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year over its seven-year life. The record shows steady progression, with 7,746 miles covered between the June 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,245 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This low annual mileage explains the presence of perished rubber components, such as the tyres, which often degrade due to age and environmental exposure rather than tread-related wear. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension assembly closely, as the 2024 test flagged worn bushes and play in the top mounts on both sides. The recurring oil misting on the shocks indicates they are nearing the end of their functional life and will likely require replacement soon to maintain vehicle handling quality. Additionally, the history of perished tyres and uneven wear in 2023 and 2024 suggests a need to check the current wheel alignment and tyre condition, as the vehicle has previously suffered from neglected rubber and bald edges.
