2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP68 HGA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean recent history following a minor setback. The most recent MOT conducted in September 2023 at 28,088 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met minimum standards at that time. This clean result suggests that the previous owner addressed any necessary issues promptly to maintain the vehicle in a roadworthy condition. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2021 at 11,404 miles and September 2022 at 24,252 miles, where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long periods of potential inactivity can lead to secondary issues such as brake corrosion, flat-sp tyres, or fluid degradation if the car sat stationary for months. A buyer should pay close attention to the failure recorded on 12 September 2022 at 24,252 miles. Although the vehicle passed the retest the following day, the specific reason for the failure is not documented in the summary, suggesting a simple component replacement or adjustment. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on surface rust on brake discs and seized calipers, which are common in cars that are infrequently. Checking the condition of rubber bushes and tyres for cracking is also vital, as these components age over time regardless of the low mileage.
