2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FG67 NGZ

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 26 June 2025 at 40,821 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. Looking back through the history, the vehicle has consistently passed every single test without advisories or failures, indicating diligent upkeep and sound mechanical health across its lifespan. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2021 test at 21,937 miles and the June 2025 test at 40,821 miles, the car covered roughly 18,884 miles over three and a half years, averaging approximately 5,400 miles annually. There is a slight uptick in usage from mid-2024 onwards, with 6,319 miles added between July 2024 and June 2025, but overall the car has lived a gently used life. The gap between the December 2023 test and the July 2024 test spans seven months with no recorded mileage change, suggesting a period of limited use or possible storage. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and deteriorated rubber suspension bushes or perishable hoses. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, and inspect the underside for surface corrosion on brake lines, exhaust components, and subframe mounting points. Test the handbrake function on a slope, as cables can seize on cars that sit idle. The absence of any flagged defects across five consecutive tests speaks well of the previous owner's attention to maintenance. A prospective buyer should verify the service history independently, confirm the cambelt replacement interval has been met, and take the car for a extended test drive covering varied road surfaces to confirm the suspension and steering remain tight and rattle-free.
