2021 Vauxhall Corsa SRI Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · DY71 ABU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on October 10 2025 at 50,842 miles passed, it followed two failures just six days prior at nearly the same mileage. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses critical safety faults when forced by an MOT failure, as evidenced by the repeated neglect of tyres and braking components between tests. At 50,842 miles over five years, the Corsa averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK domestic usage patterns. There is a clear gap of 13,741 miles between the October 2024 test at 37,101 miles and the October 2025 tests. This consistent mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, yet the rapid accumulation of faults in late 2025 suggests that components are being run to their point of failure without intervention between annual inspection intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The October 2025 failure flagged multiple tyre defects including sidewall damage, tears, and structural bulges on the offside rear, which often indicate impact-related damage or poor wheel alignment. The front brake discs were specifically noted as heavily lipped and pitted in 2025, having been flagged as worn in 2024, indicating the braking system is nearing the end of its service life. Check for uneven wear across all tyres, as the record repeatedly highlights edge wear, which typically points to misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes.
