2019 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP19 RFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning lack of proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 28,587 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to multiple safety-related items. The recurring nature of the brake component and tyre issues across several years suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when necessary to pass an MOT rather than performing scheduled maintenance. At seven years old with 28,587 miles, the Corsa has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage often results in short urban trips, which explains the premature pitting of the brake discs and the uneven wear on the tyres. Between June 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered only 1,394 miles, yet the condition of the braking system continued to deteriorate. This pattern of low-mile driving can lead to oxidisation of metal surfaces and flat-spotting if the car sits stationary. A buyer must focus closely on the front braking system, as the record consistently flags thin pads and scored or pitted discs in both 2024 and 2025. The offside front tyre is noted worn on the edge, indicating a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional inspection. Additionally, the presence of cuts and nails in multiple tyres during the 2025 test suggests a general disregard for basic vehicle condition. The buyer should verify that the reversing lamp and wiper assembly are now functional, as these were repeat failure points.
