2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FM65 UWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive ownership. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 91,961 miles passed, it carried forward minor advisories regarding the artwork, registration plate, and clutch pedal. This follows a significant failure in November 2024 where several mechanical and safety issues were identified. Although the immediate mechanical failures were addressed, the persistence of minor defects suggests that repairs are often deferred until an inspection fails. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. There is a notable gap between January 2023 (63,855 miles) and November 2024 (80,438 miles), during which the car covered over 16,000 miles in twenty months. This rapid accumulation of mileage correlates with the subsequent degradation of suspension components and tyres noted in the 2024 records, indicating that the vehicle is subject to standard wear on its consumable items during high-usage periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, specifically the shock absorbers. The record shows a serious fluid leak on both front shocks and light misting on the rear right in late 2024, alongside a worn迫 on the nearside front. While likely replaced, the buyer must verify that no new leaks have developed and that the bushes are not showing further play. Given the previous failure for the nearside front tyre being below the 1.6mm limit, the remaining tyres should be checked for uneven wear, which would indicate an alignment or geometry issue. The windscreen and wiper assembly also require attention as damage has been flagged in almost every test since early 2023. While the current damage does not yet obscure the view, the recurring nature suggests the glass may be prone to cracking. The missing anti-slip rubber on the clutch pedal has remained a noted defect for two years, which is a minor ergonomic issue but reflects a general lack of attention to interior maintenance. The front registration plate should be checked for corrosion to ensure it remains legible and secure to avoid future fines.
