2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP18 NFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in June 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test at 49,045 miles, the failure just two days prior at 48,982 miles highlights significant neglect of basic safety consumables. The presence of a perished offside rear tyre and structural separation on the nearside rear tyre suggests the owner only addressed critical defects once they reached the point of an MOT-related failure. At 49,045 miles over eight years, the Corsa has averaged approximately 6,130 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns. The mileage progression is consistent, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the low annual mileage appears to have contributed to rubber degradation issues. The June 2024 test flagged multiple tyres for cracking and perishing across the sidewalls, indicating that the tyres are likely reaching their end life due to age and lack of regular use despite the low recorded mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of all four tyres, as the history shows a recurring pattern of dry rot and uneven wear. The nearside front brake disc was flagged as pitted and scored in both the 2025 failure and the subsequent pass; the buyer should check for thin material or uneven friction to ensure the disc was replaced rather than ignored. Additionally, since the wiper blades were noted as defective in 2024, the current state should be verified as the owner clearly tends to overlook minor maintenance items until they fail inspection.
