2019 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · EX69 HXN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a sudden decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its test in September 2025 at 38,083 miles, it followed a failure just two days prior at 38,069 miles. This failure identified significant wear on both front Macpherson strut top bushes and bearings, alongside multiple tyre defects. The transition from a clean record to multiple mechanical failures suggests that components were neglected until failure rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-useage city car, averaging approximately 5,440 miles per annum. The data shows a steady progression from 18,256 miles in September 2022 to 31,299 miles in October 2024. However, the jump of 6,784 miles occurred between the late 2024 and September 2025 tests. This relatively low annual mileage often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components, which explains the perishing and tyre damage noted in the most recent test despite the low tread depth. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension to ensure the Macpherson strut top bushes and bearings were actually replaced and adjusted. The previous failure for excessive free play can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if unresolved. The recorded cracking on the nearside and offside rear tyres indicates the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life, likely necessitating replacement regardless of remaining tread. Check for any further signs of sidewall damage or corrosion, as the low-mileage history suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which promotes material rot.
