2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DN63 FDV

The 2013 Vauxhall Corsa passed its latest MOT on 23 May 2026 at 104,255 miles, confirming current roadworthiness despite an oil leak and corroded rear shock absorbers, and the overall maintenance record shows a stable trend with no worsening defects since the previous successful test in May 2025. Mileage has risen from 39,372 miles in October 2017 to 104,255 miles in May 2026, averaging about 8,000 miles per year; the most rapid accumulation occurred between May 2024 (83,947 miles) and May 2025 (95,599 miles), a jump of 11,652 miles, while earlier periods such as 2016‑2017 showed a similar increase from 28,326 to 39,372 miles, indicating consistent usage rather than prolonged standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension, where both shock absorbers exhibited corrosion in the latest test and previous records noted reduced damping on front shocks and play in the front top mount, suggesting potential loss of damping performance and compromised structural integrity. Inspection of the braking system is essential, given repeated findings of thin front brake pads, worn and pitted front discs, and slight corrosion on all brake hoses, while tyre wear patterns—edge wear, cracking, and tread depths below 1.6 mm—point to possible alignment or suspension issues that should be verified on the road.
