2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · J7 RRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 with 29,744 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a phase of reactive repairs. While the car failed its test in April 2025 with multiple mechanical and safety issues, the subsequent pass a week later indicates that the owner addressed the immediate failures, though the history suggests a recurring pattern of deferred preventative maintenance. At approximately nine years old, the recorded mileage of 29,744 miles is exceptionally low, averaging just over three thousand hundred miles per annum. The usage pattern is consistent, with mileage growing from 12,788 miles in 2023 to 29,744 miles in 2026. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than distance. This is clearly evidenced by the recurring failures related to perished materials across several different testing years. A buyer must scrutinise the suspension and rubber-based components. The record shows a persistent issue with perished track rod end dust covers from 2023 through 2025, suggesting that the vehicle sits for long periods, allowing rubber to dry and crack. The repeated history of tyres cracking and perishing in both 2024 and 2025 confirms that the tyres are reaching their structural limit regardless of remaining tread depth. An inspection should check for further cracking on sidewalls, bushes, and brake hoses to ensure the low-usage profile has not caused hidden brittleness.
