2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · FP64 AVB

The vehicle demonstrates an improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent test on 22 November 2025 at 77,946 miles. This follows a period of instability between 2022 and 2024 where the car faced multiple failures and recurring advisories. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed, moving the vehicle from a state of neglected upkeep to a more stable condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 20,402 miles in March 2018 to the current 77,946 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the vehicle has been used regularly and subjected to annual inspections without long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. The records show a history of recurring issues, specifically with the Macpherson strut and shock absorbers, which first showed oil misting in March 2018 and again in November 2022. While the 2024 test flagged a damaged nearside front upper Macpherson strut and pitted front brake discs, the clean 2025 result implies these components were replaced. Physical inspection of the strut mounts and checking for any signs of weeping from the dampers is still advisable. The history also reveals a pattern of neglected consumables, particularly tyres and wiper blades, which caused several failures in 2018 and 2022. While these are minor wear items, the frequency of failures suggests previous owners may have deferred basic maintenance. Ensure the current tyre tread, sidewall integrity, and wiper performance meet standards, and verify that the track rod end ball joints are secure, as these were flagged for deterioration in both 2018 and 2022.
