2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FL13 OFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a worsening condition regarding the suspension system. In the most recent test on October 2025 at 77,688 miles, the car passed despite advisories for worn front Macpherson way pins or bushes and reduced damping on both rear shock car. This represents a progression from the February 2023 test, where the shocks only showed light misting of oil, suggesting that components are now actively failing. At 77,688 miles over 13 years, the Corsa has a low annual mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The records show a significant gap in testing frequency between February 2023 and February 2024, with only 5,373 miles covered in that twelve-month period. While the low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, which is consistent with the recurring issues found in the suspension assembly. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically targeting the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint which was flagged for slight play in both February 2024 and February 2025. The failure to rectify thision between two annual tests suggests a lack of preventative maintenance. Furthermore, the rear shock car require close monitoring for significant oil leakage, as the damping effect has moved from light misting to a functional major in the latest inspection.
