2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.6L Petrol · GD11 FVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2024 with 90,732 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant mechanical failure in early 2022. While the 2022 test revealed multiple structural faults, the subsequent tests show no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the primary suspension issues were addressed by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage city car, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between October 2020 and January 2022, where the car covered only 2,700 miles. Since the 2022 failure, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 6,000 miles over two years. This low annual mileage suggests the car may have been used primarily for short trips, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low overall odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension geometry, given the failures recorded in January 2022. The tester previously identified fractured coil springs on both sides and a worn nearside front Macpherson strut bush. A buyer must verify these parts were replaced correctly and check for steering pull or uneven tyre wear that would indicate a lingering alignment issue. The recurring history of inner-edge tyre wear in 2022 and 2023 suggests a persistent tracking fault or worn ball joints that require professional monitoring to prevent premature tyre failure.
