2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP68 TKT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. Although it failed the test on 06 October 2025 at 97,447 miles, it successfully passed a re-test on the same day with no defects recorded. This suggests a specific minor issue was rectified immediately by the owner. Prior to this, the car maintained a clean record with consecutive passes and no advisories across the previous three annual tests. The mileage pattern indicates a significant acceleration in usage over the last two years. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the vehicle covered 16,847 miles. However, the interval between October 2023 and October 2024 saw a jump to 19,521 miles, followed by another 18,190 miles leading into the most recent test. This average of over 12,000 miles per year is high for an eight-year-old Corsa, placing higher stress on drivetrain and suspension components compared to typical examples. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of components prone to high-mileage wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade after 90,000 miles. Check the brake discs for thinning and calipers for binding, as the record does not detail any previous brake issues. Additionally, verify the chassis for structural corrosion to ensure the high-frequency usage has not compromised the underlying integrity of the vehicle.
