2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · HT14 NHG

The vehicle passed the latest MOT on 5 August 2025 at 75,069 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the trend shows recurring suspension and brake issues over previous years, suggesting maintenance may be inconsistent. The mileage has increased from 16,383 miles in August 2017 to 75,069 miles in August 2025, averaging about 6,256 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old car. Notable gaps appear between the 2021 and 2022 tests (49,923 to 59,319 miles) and a larger jump to 71,793 miles by August 2024, indicating periods of heavy use or extended standing. Recurrent failures on suspension components—dust‑cover deterioration on front lower and track‑rod end ball joints—and repeated front disc lipping point to potential wear in the front suspension and braking system that a buyer should verify. The multiple tyre tread defects and early brake pad wear also suggest neglect of consumable maintenance, so inspection of tyre condition, brake pad thickness, and suspension bushings is essential. Structural rust is not reported, but the presence of binding rear brakes and worn suspension bushes in earlier tests implies that the chassis and drivetrain may have hidden corrosion or component fatigue; a thorough visual and functional check of the chassis, exhaust, and brake calipers is recommended.
