2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP17 KWS

The 2025‑11‑07 MOT at 72,500 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the Vauxhall Corsa is presently roadworthy. Earlier tests show only minor advisories such as damaged track rod end dust covers in January 2025, while the 2022 failure involving a broken off‑side front coil spring was remedied, as all subsequent inspections have passed without further mechanical faults, indicating a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 27,986 miles in December 2020 to 72,500 miles in November 2025, averaging about 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a nine‑year‑old car. The intervals between tests are regular, with no long periods of inactivity evident; the jump from 47,322 miles in December 2022 to 47,324 miles in January 2023 shows only a two‑mile increase, indicating the car was not idle for extended periods during that year. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components that have shown recurring wear – the track rod end dust covers, the off‑side front coil spring and the near‑side rear shock absorbers – checking for play, corrosion or oil leakage, and inspect the brake system for pad thickness, disc condition and any signs of binding calipers, while also verifying tyre tread depth and the integrity of the sidewalls, and confirming that the airbag warning lamp is not active.
