2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN65 OWU

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-01 shows a failed test with multiple issues, including damaged track rod end dust covers, a minor exhaust leak, and recurring tyre sidewall damage. A separate entry on the same date also records a passed MOT, creating ambiguity about the vehicle’s condition. This inconsistency may reflect administrative errors or dual assessments, but it highlights potential unresolved mechanical concerns. Recurring tyre sidewall damage (noted in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2025) suggests ongoing issues with tyre condition, possibly due to improper inflation, alignment problems, or prolonged storage. The 2025 failed MOT also identifies deteriorated track rod end dust covers and a flexy section exhaust leak, which could indicate wear in steering components or exhaust system integrity. These issues are not repeated in earlier MOTs, suggesting they may be recent developments. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,833 miles over 11 years equates to roughly 5,803 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, which might lead to rubber component degradation (e.g., tyres, seals) or fluid stagnation. However, the absence of major defects in the 2022 MOT (43,897 miles) and the limited scope of later issues make it difficult to confirm a worsening trend. The pattern appears stable in terms of major mechanical failures, but tyre and minor component wear is persistent.
