2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DP65 PXG

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and shows a clear worsening trend in mechanical condition. The most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 93,380 miles resulted in multiple critical failures involving both electrical systems and structural components. The presence of an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp and a failed electronic stability control system suggests significant underlying sensor or ECU faults that have been ignored. This represents a sharp decline compared to the February 2025 test where the car initially passed with no recorded defects. At 93,380 miles, this eleven-year-old Corsa has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for its age. However, the mileage gap between March 2024 and May 2026 shows a period of relatively high activity, with over 22,000 miles covered in just over two years. While the mileage itself is consistent, the frequency of failures indicates that the owner has been reactive rather than proactive with maintenance, allowing minor issues to escalate into major test failures. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension and lighting assemblies. The offside front shock absorber progressed from a light misting in 2024 to a serious fluid leak by 2026, necessitating immediate replacement of the pair for stability. The buyer should also verify the integrity of the front bumper, as the tester flagged it for damage that could potentially cause injury. Recurring issues with headlamp aim, security, and bulb failures suggest the wiring harness or mounting brackets may require a thorough check to ensure long-term compliance.
