2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP68 SWZ

The most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 43,586 miles recorded a pass, but flagged corroded near‑side and off‑side rear lower coil springs and slight damage to both rear tyres. No brake, emission or structural defects were noted. Over the four‑year record the vehicle has moved from clean passes in 2022 and 2023 to a minor corrosion trend in 2025, indicating a stable but slightly deteriorating condition in the rear suspension area. At 43,586 miles the car averages roughly 5,400 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2018 model. The mileage increments between tests – 25,293 miles (12 Dec 2022), 32,224 miles (6 Dec 2023), 38,045 miles (16 Dec 2024) and 43,586 miles (4 Dec 2025) – show a consistent, modest accumulation with no sudden spikes. The record is otherwise sparse, with no recorded defects in three of the five tests, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven lightly and maintained without major interventions. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear suspension. Inspect the lower coil springs for surface rust and assess whether the corrosion has progressed into the spring material. Examine the rear tyres for cracking, perishing tread or sidewall damage, and verify that the tyre pressures are correct. Confirm that the brake pedal still offers a smooth, firm feel and that the windscreen wipers now clear effectively, as a failure was recorded in December 2024. A visual check for any emerging rust on suspension mounts or chassis members will help ensure that the minor issues identified have not developed into structural concerns.
