2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · JS09 JET

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass on March 31, 2026 at 71,989 miles. While the record shows a technical failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately before the retest. Since its initial registration, the car has maintained a consistent record with no recorded mechanical or structural failures across the previous four tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a petrol hatchback, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. The jump from 16,610 miles in April 2023 to 35,981 miles in April 2024 shows a steady usage pattern, followed by an increase to 55,120 miles in April 2025 and finally 71,989 miles in early 2026. This regular interval indicates the vehicle has been used consistently, which generally helps prevent the seal failures and brake corrosion issues associated with long periods of standing. Given the absence of recorded advisories or faults in the MOT history, an in-person inspection should focus on standard wear items that fall outside the tester's scope. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyre treads and any uneven wear, as the 70,000-mile mark often marks the point where suspension bushes and shocks begin to degrade. Inspecting the rubber components on the chassis and checking the brake discs for any signs of excessive scoring or caliper binding will ensure the clean history reflects the current mechanical state.
