2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FD14 EAP

The vehicle achieved a PASS at the most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 61 032 miles, carrying only advisories for damaged track‑rod end ball‑joint dust covers on both front corners. This outcome follows a clear improvement after the 24 October 2023 failure, which recorded an offside front tyre tread below 1.6 mm and excessive wear on the nearside front Macpherson strut pin or bush. The subsequent tests in October 2024 and October 2025 show no new defects, indicating a stabilising and improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation has been modest throughout the car’s life. Between October 2022 (48 243 miles) and October 2025 (61 032 miles) the vehicle added roughly 12 789 miles over three years, averaging about 5 100 miles per annum. Earlier intervals also show similar low‑rate increases, suggesting light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT record is dense, with a test every October from 2017 onward, providing a reliable mileage timeline. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension components. The recurring wear on Macpherson strut pins/bushes and the damaged track‑rod end dust covers merit close visual and mechanical examination for excessive play or corrosion. Front tyre tread depth must be verified against the legal 1.6 mm limit, especially on the offside. Brake performance should be tested for binding or pulsation, although no brake‑related defects appear in the history. Finally, a thorough check for rust or structural damage around the front subframe and sill areas is advisable, as the low mileage does not guarantee freedom from corrosion.
