2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DY68 LWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 66,926 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a pattern of reactive repairs regarding minor electrical and consumable faults. While the September 2025 test failed due to an ineffective windscreen wiper and multiple rear lighting defects, the immediate re-test pass suggests the owner addresses specific MOT failures once they are flagged rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,366 miles per year. It covered 11,575 miles between the September 2024 test (55,351 miles) and the September 2025 test (66,926 miles), showing a steady driving habit. This consistent use reduces the risk of component degradation associated with long periods of standing, though it confirms that components like tyres and braking systems are subjected to standard wear and tear for this age. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear lighting assembly, as the nearside rear stop lamp and position lamp failed in both 2023 and 2025. This recurring failure suggests a potential wiring issue or a corroded socket rather than a simple blown bulb. Additionally, the September 2024 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge and a perished nearside rear tyre indicates that previous owners may have neglected tyre maintenance. A physical inspection of all current tyres is necessary to ensure these issues were fully rectified and that the alignment remains correct.
