2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DP68 VLU

The 2018 Vauxhall Corsa failed its most recent MOT on 4 November 2025 at 106,571 miles, so it is not roadworthy. The record shows a pattern of recurring failures – the same registration‑plate lamp defect, damaged track‑rod end dust covers, and an inoperative engine warning light – indicating that maintenance has not improved and the vehicle’s condition is deteriorating. Mileage accumulation has been rapid relative to the car’s age. From the 2023‑10‑04 test at 67,031 miles to the 2024‑10‑03 test at 81,040 miles the vehicle covered 14,009 miles in one year, and from 2024‑10‑03 to the 2025‑11‑04 test it added a further 25,531 miles in just over a year, reflecting consistently high usage rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, especially the front and rear track‑rod end ball joints and their dust covers, which have repeatedly shown deterioration, and verify the condition of the MacPherson strut mounting and suspension bushes noted in earlier tests. The tyres, which have been recorded as worn close to the legal limit on multiple occasions, merit a thorough tread depth check and assessment of the tyre pressure monitoring system. Additionally, the brakes, washer system, registration‑plate lamp, and any signs of structural rust or corrosion should be examined, as these items have appeared in several failed tests and represent potential safety concerns.
