2022 Vauxhall Corsa SRI Edition Turbo 1.2L Petrol · DY71 OER

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a minor trend of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. In the recent test on 28 January 2026 at 29,547 miles, the car failed due to a structural defect in the nearside front tyre and a binding offside rear brake. While the tyre was rectified to allow a subsequent pass, the persistence of the brake binding suggests a mechanical issue that requires monitoring to prevent accelerated wear. The' profile is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,387 miles per annum. Between the test on 16 January 2025 at 21,223 miles and the January 2026 test at 29,547 miles, the car covered 8,324 miles. This steady usage suggests regular road miles which is generally beneficial for components over long periods of standing, though it does lead to consumable-related failures as noted in the recent record. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside rear braking assembly to determine the cause of the binding, specifically checking for a seized caliper artwork, worn pins, or uneven disc wear. Given that this fault was noted during the failure, it is vital to ensure the mechanism was fully serviced following the report. Additionally, the tyre sidewalls should be inspected for further signs of impact damage or deformation, as the previous failure indicated a structural bulge that posed a significant safety risk.
