2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FP66 HRR

The 29 October 2025 MOT at 77,789 miles passed, yet a failure two days earlier at 77,787 miles recorded exhaust lambda out of limits, damaged track rod end dust covers and minor exhaust leaks, showing the vehicle required remedial work to achieve roadworthiness; the repeated thin front brake pads and scored discs reveal an ongoing brake wear issue rather than a stable condition. Mileage has risen from 48,609 miles in the September 2021 test to 77,789 miles by October 2025, an increase of 29,180 miles over four years, averaging about 7,300 miles per year, which exceeds the typical 7,779 miles per year for a 2016 Corsa but reflects regular annual testing with no extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension components, especially the track rod end ball joints and dust covers for play or deterioration, verify the condition of the front brake pads, discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition given the repeated near‑legal wear, and check the exhaust system for leaks, corrosion and the lambda sensor performance. These focused checks address the documented recurring faults and will reveal whether the vehicle’s maintenance has kept critical mechanical systems within safe limits or if further remedial work is required before purchase.
