2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FD67 RGV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy condition, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 13,569 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the minor issues identified in previous years have been addressed or resolved. While the history shows occasional minor faults, the overall record suggests the car has not suffered from mechanical or structural failures that would indicate systemic neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between December 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered only 118 miles in over fourteen months. Conversely, the vehicle saw a surge of 1,000 miles between February 2024 and February 2026. This pattern of long periods standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or flat-spotting on tyres, despite the low overall mechanical wear. A physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage and long-term storage. The December 2022 test flagged corrosion to the exhaust and a TPMS warning light, so a buyer must verify that the exhaust system is still structurally sound and that the pressure monitoring sensors are functioning correctly. Because the car sits for extended periods, the inspector should check the brake discs for pitting or seizing and ensure the calipers are not binding. The tyres should also be examined for sidewall cracking, as age-related rubber rot often precedes tread wear depletion on low-use vehicles.
