2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · GC14 SWY

The 2025‑12‑10 MOT at 100,119 miles confirms the Vauxhall Corsa remains roadworthy, with no major defects recorded. Since the 2023 failure was remedied, the subsequent 2024 and 2025 passes indicate a stable maintenance record and an improving condition. The vehicle’s 12‑year age corresponds to an average annual mileage of about 8,300 miles, a figure typical for its class. Mileage rose steadily from 2021 (43,085) to 2022 (75,124), a 32,000‑mile jump in five months, and continued to climb to 100,119 by 2025, while the 2020‑2021 interval shows a puzzling drop of roughly 6,000 miles, suggesting either a recording anomaly or a period of very low use. Recurring observations include a persistent front oil leak (recorded in 2020, 2023 and 2025), light misting of oil on both front shock absorbers, a damaged front outer track‑rod end dust cover that allows dirt ingress, and previous tyre defects such as a sidewall bulge and mismatched tyre sizes. Earlier tests also noted worn front brake discs, a failed rear registration plate lamp, and an inoperative engine management light. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front suspension bushes and track‑rod end for play or corrosion, verify the oil leak source and check for excessive wear on the brake discs, confirm that the registration plate lamp operates and that the engine management light is not illuminated, and examine all tyres for correct size, tread depth and signs of structural failure.
