2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · GV14 HMD

The 2025-11-05 MOT at 84,030 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. After a failure on 2025-11-04 that recorded an exhaust leak and a worn, pitted brake disc, the subsequent test showed the issues had been remedied, indicating a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening condition. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase from 27,775 miles in June 2017 to 84,030 miles in November 2025, averaging about 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 12‑year age. Larger jumps occurred early, such as the 11,401‑mile rise between 2017 and 2018, and a 7,585‑mile increase from 2023 to 2024, while the modest 3,071‑mile gain in the ten months before the latest test suggests regular use without extended idle periods. A buyer should therefore focus on the components that repeatedly required attention: the front coil spring, which fractured in November 2024, the exhaust system that leaked gases in the same test, and the front brake disc that showed pitting and wear in November 2025; inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs for scoring, exhaust integrity, and any signs of structural rust on the chassis is essential, while tyre tread and wiper condition can be assessed as routine consumable wear.
