2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DV67 OSZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 68,337 miles. The maintenance trend shows a transition from a clean record in 2022 to a period of developing mechanical wear and tear in the later years. While the most recent test noted only obstructions due to child seats preventing full seat belt inspections, the previous records indicate specific areas of component degradation that have not yet resulted in a failure but suggest a pattern of aging. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 68,337 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,600 miles, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small city car. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 11,400 miles driven between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 6,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber seals per and brakes seizing. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension components. The tester flagged light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber in both April 2023 and April 2024. While this did not cause a failure, the recurring mention indicates a slow leak that will eventually lead to a loss of damping. Similarly, the 2024 test noted the front brake discs were worn, necessitating a physical check of the remaining thickness and surface condition to ensure they are not nearing their replacement limit. Tyre maintenance also shows a point of concern. The April 2024 record identified an offside front tyre worn to 2mm with uneven edge wear, which often points to an alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures. The buyer should verify the current tread depth across all tyres and check for further uneven wear patterns. Given the obstructions noted in the two most recent tests, the inspector must also remove the child seats to verify that the adult seatbelts are functioning correctly and are free of fraying.
