2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DU66 XCW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the October 2025 test at 92,998 miles. This recent result indicates that previous mechanical issues have been addressed, as the record shows no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from a period of multiple failures and advisories between 2023 and 2024 toward a clean status in the most recent inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 36,756 miles in November 2019 to the current 92,998 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of long periods of inactivity, suggesting the car has been used regularly for commuting or general transit. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and tyre management, as these components showed recurring issues. The September 2024 test flagged multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit and a worn offside front Macpherson strut bush. Similar suspension wear was noted in the November 2022 test regarding a nearside front shock absorber bush. While these issues seem resolved based on the 2025 pass, the history suggests the vehicle may be prone to premature wear in its suspension bushings and steering components. The braking system also required attention in October 2023 when the tester identified a missing nearside front brake hose securing pin and incorrectly routed ABS wiring. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, an in-person inspection of the brake lines, wiring routing, and tyre tread depth is advisable to ensure the quality of the repairs carried out. The presence of a coolant leak in the September 2024 test also warrants a visual check of the cooling system for any residual seepage.
