2021 Vauxhall Corsa SE Premium 1.2L Petrol · DP21 LSU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 45,119 miles was a pass, it revealed significant advisories regarding both rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing signs of edge wear and cracking. This indicates that the previous owner neglected tyre replacement until the MOT tester forced action, mirroring the pattern seen in the previous year's failed test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The car progressed from 31,079 miles in June 2024 to 39,911 miles in June 2025, and reached 45,119 miles by June 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly for short to medium trips, yet the gap between the 2025 MOT tests highlights that mechanical components are not being monitored between annual testing intervals. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the braking system and the current state of all tyres. The June 2025 failure flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, which should have been replaced simultaneously to ensure even stopping performance. Furthermore, the recurring issues with cuts, cords, and nails in the tyres suggest a history of poor attention to road hazards or the use of low-quality rubber. The buyer should verify that the rear tyres mentioned in the 2026 advisory have actually been replaced with high-quality units and check the alignment, as the uneven edge wear suggests potential suspension geometry issues.
