2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FL66 VDM

The 2016 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 60,289 miles on 28 August 2025. Every recorded MOT since 2021 has passed without a single defect, indicating a vehicle that has remained consistently roadworthy throughout its life. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than waiting for components to fail to the point of rejection. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, showing no signs of deterioration or neglect. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical light-use patterns for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2021 test at 41,182 miles and the 2022 test at 51,952 miles, the Corsa covered 10,770 miles, indicating a period of regular driving. Subsequent annual mileage dropped significantly, with only 819 miles added between August 2024 and August 2025. This recent drop suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, a factor that demands careful inspection of perishable components like rubber seals and tyre sidewalls, despite the low overall mileage of 60,289 miles. While the MOT record is devoid of mechanical advisories, a buyer must inspect specific components that deteriorate with age and standing time rather than mileage alone. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as older rubber perishes even with ample tread depth. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue when a car sits idle, which can cause binding or juddering despite passing a brake efficiency test. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or corrosion, paying close attention to the subframe and underbody for any signs of structural rust that might not have warranted a tester's flag yet but could develop into a future issue.
