2021 Vauxhall Corsa SE 1.2L Petrol · KC21 FFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 17,801 miles resulted in a pass despite identifying perishing damage on both rear tyres. This follows a failure in early 2025 for structural tyre damage and headlight alignment, suggesting that the owner addresses faults only when they fail inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,560 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered only 2,597 miles, indicating periods of very light use or long-term storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as tyres and brake seals, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres. The February 2026 advisory indicates nearside and offside rear tyres have begun to perish or crack, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Check the sidewalls for further dry rot or bulges similar to the structural failure recorded in 2025. Additionally, verify that the headlamp aim remains correctly adjusted, as the vehicle previously failed for this reason, indicating the units may not be properly secured or aligned.
