2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · GJ14 FOD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with 117,673 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the test following initial failures in previous years. The pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass in 2024 and 2025 suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing specific MOT-related faults rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist through neglect. At 117,673 miles, the Vauxhall Corsa averages approximately 9,800 miles per year over its twelve-year life, which aligns with typical usage for a small hatchback of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent intervals, with roughly 5,300 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,564 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for the integrity of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most likely to wear on high-mileage Vauxhall models. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, the mileage necessitates a close check of the rear subframe and exhaust system for corrosion, which is common. Given the history of failures, verifying the state of suspension bushes and coil springs is vital to ensure no play has developed. Additionally, inspecting the brake lines for leaks and the calipers for binding ensures the recent passes are not masking any underlying mechanical wear in the braking system.
