2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · GL16 UFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 76,101 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of neglect in early 2025. While the 2025 failure highlighted multiple issues with consumable components, the subsequent clean test sheet indicates that the previous faults were addressed and the vehicle has since maintained a standard operating condition. At 76,101 miles over ten years, the Corsa averages approximately 7,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small city run car. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the February 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,000 miles in the year leading up to the latest inspection. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally helps in keeping engine seals and rubber components from degrading. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension, as the 2024 test flagged the offside rear shock absorber for oil misting. While this was a minor advisory at the time, shock absorbers often fail progressively once the seal is compromised. The history also shows a pattern of poor tyre management, specifically across 2024 and 2025, where the previous owner waited until components reached legal limits before replacement. A physical inspection of the current tyres for uneven wear is necessary to ensure the alignment is not causing the premature edge wear noted in previous records.
