2022 Vauxhall Corsa Elite Edition Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · DY22 ADV

The vehicle passed its May 2026 test at 19,452 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it is currently roadworthy. The April 2025 test at 17,694 miles revealed multiple failing defects including worn brake discs, thin brake pads, and tyres close to legal limits, yet the clean result two months later implies those consumable items were replaced. This suggests the current owner has addressed the previous owner's maintenance gaps, as the trend shows issues resolving rather than worsening. A mileage accumulation of roughly 4,863 miles per year is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle. The gap between the two recorded tests spans approximately 1,758 miles, which is consistent with the annual average rather than a rapid accumulation of wear. This light usage pattern means suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components have likely retained their service life longer than a typical fleet car, though the car may have sat idle for periods where rubber components could degrade through heat rather than mileage. The buyer should inspect the tyres closely for nail punctures or sidewall damage, given the offside rear nail recorded in April 2025. While the brake discs and pads were flagged as worn in that test, the clean May 2026 result means they are likely new, but checking the rotor surface for pitting or scoring is prudent. The nearside front tyre wear close to the legal limit suggests uneven wear or aggressive driving habits, so a visual check for alignment issues or suspension bushing condition would be wise before purchase.
