2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FT14 CLF

The vehicle is presently road‑worthy, having passed the 9 August 2025 MOT at 84,704 miles with a single advisory for low coolant level. Earlier failures – front exhaust leak in August 2024, oil leaks in 2023 and 2021, and damaged track‑rod dust‑covers in September 2022 – have all been cleared in subsequent passes, indicating a maintenance pattern that has stabilised rather than deteriorated. At 84,704 miles the car averages roughly 7,000 miles per year, a usage rate typical for a 2014 model. Mileage rose from 75,351 miles in August 2024 to 84,704 miles by August 2025, a steady increase of about 9,300 miles in twelve months, showing no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. Earlier records display consistent annual mileage increments, suggesting regular, moderate use without evidence of neglect or excessive wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring items flagged in the MOT history. Verify that the front exhaust system is free of leaks and that any repaired sections are free of corrosion or cracks. Inspect the engine bay for fresh oil seepage around the lower oil pan and valve cover, confirming that seals have been replaced or are intact. Examine the front suspension, particularly the nearside and offside outer track‑rod ends, ensuring dust‑covers are secure and bushings show no excessive play. Check the rear tyre that was noted as slightly damaged in 2020 and 2021, confirming tread depth and sidewall condition, and confirm that the current tyres meet legal limits. Finally, top up the coolant reservoir and look for any signs of overheating or coolant loss, as the low‑level advisory from the latest test suggests a possible recurring issue.
