2021 Vauxhall Corsa SE 1.2L Petrol · DU71 VLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor lapse in proactive care. The most recent MOT test on October 3, 2025, at 24,663 miles resulted in a failure due to an ineffective front wiper and pitted front brake discs. While the vehicle passed the re-test that same day, the failure indicates that components were only addressed after failing an inspection rather than during routine servicing intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,933 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 18,438 miles and the October 2025 test at 24,663 miles, the car covered 6,225 miles in just thirteen months. This slight increase suggests light use on the drivetrain and suspension, but the low annual mileage often leads to surface corrosion on brake components and dry seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods without regular use. A buyer should pay close attention to the front brake assembly during a physical inspection. The pitting and scoring noted in October 2025 suggest the discs may have suffered from corrosion, likely a byproduct of the low mileage and infrequent braking. Verify that the discs were actually replaced alongside the pads and inspect the calipers for any signs of uneven wear. Additionally, check the condition of the wiper blades and arm tension for cracking, as the previous failure confirms the rubber was previously failing to provide adequate visibility.
