2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DU64 ACY

The 2026‑03‑17 MOT at 81,573 miles confirms the Vauxhall Corsa remains roadworthy, with only a near‑side rear tyre showing slight damage or perishing under defect 5.2.3 (d) (ii). The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, with no failures escalating into major defects; previous tests from 2018 onward consistently passed, indicating that previous owners addressed issues promptly. Mileage has risen from 26,992 miles in the 2017 test to 81,573 miles in 2026, averaging about 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. However, the interval between the 2023 test (48,183 miles) and the 2024 test (59,422 miles) added roughly 11,200 miles in one year, and the 2025 to 2026 interval contributed a further 10,150 miles, suggesting accelerated use in recent years. Earlier periods, such as 2017‑2018, showed much slower accumulation, indicating periods of low kilometrage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and strut pins for excessive play, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and measure tyre tread depth, especially on the near‑side rear tyre noted in the latest test. The repeated wear of front brake discs and tyres points to possible mis‑alignment or harsh driving, so checking wheel alignment and suspension geometry is advisable. A visual inspection for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, as well as the condition of the exhaust system, will confirm whether the vehicle’s overall integrity matches its MOT history.
