2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · HN14 ACU

The 2026‑04‑14 MOT at 30,038 miles resulted in a pass, with only a minor advisory for a slightly discoloured offside rear direction indicator (4.4.3 (a)). Apart from this, no defects were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend that has not deteriorated since the previous test in April 2025. The vehicle’s mileage has risen by roughly 2,000 miles per year since 2017, moving from 7,577 miles in May 2017 to 30,038 miles in April 2026. The increments between successive tests are modest and consistent, with no large gaps that would suggest prolonged standing; the record therefore reflects regular use rather than neglect. Recurring faults point to areas that merit close inspection: the 2025 test noted corroded nearside and offside rear coil springs (5.3.1 (b) (i)) and perishing rear tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), while the 2023 failure highlighted excessively damaged track‑rod end dust covers (2.1.3 (g) (ii)). These suggest potential wear on suspension bushes, possible binding of rear brakes, and the need to verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension for rust and play in the coil springs and bushes, test the rear brakes for binding or uneven pad wear, assess the condition of the rear tyres and the integrity of the track‑rod ends, and confirm that the wiper mechanism clears the windscreen effectively, as indicated by the 2019 advisory.
