2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP18 WMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on July 2, 2025, at 51,459 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses specific safety failures immediately upon testing. While the July 2025 test failed due to structural tyre damage on the nearside rear, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the identified issues were rectified and the vehicle currently meets minimum standards. The mileage profile remains consistent with typical low-use patterns, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year over its eight-year life. There is a gap of 7,530 miles between the June 2024 and July 2025 tests, and a 5,543-mile interval prior to June 2023. This steady accumulation suggests low mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine components, though the low mileage often leads to rubber-based components degrading from age rather than through friction. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the record shows recurring issues with perishing and damage in both 2024 and 2025. These faults suggest the car may sit for extended periods or be exposed to harsh environmental conditions that cause sidewall rot. Additionally, the parking brake should be verified in person; the June 2023 failure for excessive lever movement and low efficiency indicates the mechanical mechanism requires regular adjustment or suffers from internal corrosion on the drums.
