2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · HS16 CWZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful inspection on 3 April 2026 at 101,339 miles. While the most recent result is clean, the maintenance history shows a brief period of instability during the latest testing cycle. The car failed two consecutive tests on 1 and 2 April 2026 with only four miles recorded between each attempt before finally passing on the third day. This suggests a specific mechanical or lighting issue was rectified immediately to meet the standard, rather than indicating a long-term trend of mechanical neglect. The mileage profile remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the car covered 14,161 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The subsequent interval between May 2025 and April 2026 saw an accumulation of 10,322 miles in eleven months. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the health of engine seals, gaskets, and braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that may have caused the recent failures in April 2026. Given the mileage has surpassed 100,000 miles, a close look at the front suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary as these are common points of wear on this model. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the exhaust lines and the underside structure, as the MOT record shows no previous advisories regarding structural integrity to date.
