2021 Vauxhall Corsa E SRI NAV Premium Electricity · HS21 XUN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 13,737 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just three days prior. That failure was triggered by a broken bonnet release catch and a cut on the nearside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified quickly to achieve compliance, they suggest the owner only addressed mechanical faults when they threatened the legal test status. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,747 miles per annum. Between the June 2024 test at 11,566 miles and the August 2025 test at 13,737 miles, the car covered only 2,171 miles in over fourteen months. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to issues such as brake disc corrosion or flat-spotted tyres if the vehicle stood for extended durations. A buyer should personally inspect the bonnet mechanism to ensure the replacement catch is robust and the bonnet latches securely without play. The previous failure regarding the nearside rear tyre warrants a close check of the remaining tyre set for sidewall damage or age-related cracking. Given the low mileage, it is also essential to inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, as infrequently driven vehicles often suffer from internal oxidation that a standard MOT test may not fully capture.
