2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · EU16 AEJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑03‑11 at 33 789 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is stable and improving; the only serious fault, a fluid leak in the offside front shock absorber at 30 504 miles in March 2024, has not reappeared, and the earlier 2020 failures concerning the nearside wiper and headlamp aim have been resolved without recurrence. Mileage accumulation remains low for a ten‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 3 379 miles per year. The gap between the 2025 test (32 115 miles) and the latest test is about sixteen months, covering just 1 674 miles, indicating light use or extended periods of storage. The record otherwise shows a clean progression, with only the two isolated failures noted above. A buyer should inspect the suspension system closely, checking the offside front shock absorber for any fluid leaks, examining suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and assessing the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding. The wiper blades and headlamp aim should be verified, as these were the only non‑structural failures recorded. Tyre tread depth and condition are also important, given the low mileage may have led to uneven wear or storage‑related deterioration. Finally, a visual check for rust or structural corrosion is advisable, especially if the car has been stationary for long periods.
