2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FG68 YPP

The most recent MOT on 2023-08-02 recorded a single defect: corrosion on the offside front Macpherson strut, classified as a non-urgent issue (5.3.3 (b) (i)). No other defects were noted at 50,894 miles, which is the vehicle’s current recorded mileage. This suggests the car has passed recent inspections without major concerns, though the strut corrosion indicates potential long-term wear. A recurring pattern involves suspension components, particularly shock absorbers. In 2021-11-03, a failed MOT cited light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber (5.3.2 (b)), and a subsequent pass in 2021-11-04 noted the same issue without further action. This suggests the problem may have been intermittent or resolved temporarily, but the lack of follow-up defects in later tests implies it was addressed. The 2023 MOT did not mention shocks, so their current condition remains unclear. The trend in defects appears stable rather than worsening. The 2022 MOT had no recorded issues, and the 2023 test only flagged one minor corrosion issue. While the 2021 failed MOT highlighted a track rod end dust cover defect (2.1.3 (g) (ii)), this was resolved by the next inspection.
