2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DX18 EJD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 17 July 2025 at 83,323 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisory notices or failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,415 miles annually. Between the July 2022 test at 45,004 miles and the July 2025 test at 83,323 miles, the vehicle covered 38,319 miles, representing a steady rate of roughly 12,700 miles per year during that period. The regularity of the mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than suffering from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for engine seals, tyre health, and brake components. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas. Given the mileage exceeds 80,000 miles, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue. The failure and subsequent pass in July 2025 warrants a query into the specific reason for the initial failure to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical issue that may soon require further attention.
