2022 Vauxhall Corsa SRI Edition Turbo 1.2L Petrol · DY22 CXC

Tyre wear is the only notable issue flagged in the MOT history, with both nearside and off‑side front tyres warned as being close to the legal limit at the May 2026 test, although the vehicle passed overall. The previous year’s test recorded no defects, indicating that apart from tyre tread the car has presented a clean roadworthiness record across two consecutive examinations. At 31,297 mi the car averages roughly 7,800 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a 2022 Corsa. There are no unexplained gaps in the MOT chronology, suggesting continuous road use rather than prolonged storage, and the annual accumulation aligns with normal wear patterns for consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components. Prospective buyers should verify the front tyre tread depth with a calibrated gauge, confirming it remains above the 1.6 mm legal minimum and is even across the width of each tyre. Look for signs of cupping, sidewall cracks or uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes; a steering wheel that pulls to one side or a humming noise over bumps would corroborate such issues and may necessitate an alignment or bush replacement before the tyres are fitted with new tread. Although no other MOT defects have been recorded, a thorough inspection of the braking system, including pad thickness, disc condition and the integrity of the brake lines, is prudent given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Listen for any pedal pulsation, squeal on initial braking or grinding noises that could indicate worn pads or discs, and check that the handbrake holds firmly. A visual check of the suspension arms, coil springs and shock absorbers for oil leakage or excessive play will help confirm that the car’s handling remains within safe parameters before purchase.
