2006 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · KS55 LTY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 September 2021 at 91,822 miles with no defects recorded. Prior to that, it had passed every test from May 2017 through August 2020, with only a minor advisory on an anti‑roll bar ball joint in the 2020 test. This sequence shows the car has moved from occasional faults to a clean record, suggesting a stable or improving maintenance trend. At twenty years old the odometer shows 91,822 miles, averaging about 4,600 miles per year. Mileage rose steadily from 35,680 miles in December 2010 to 91,822 miles in September 2021, with a noticeable increase between April 2016 and May 2017 when the reading jumped from 52,032 to 61,715 miles. After that point the accumulation remained consistent, averaging roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles annually until the final test. Based on the repeated advisories and failures, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, particularly the anti‑roll bar ball joints and their dust covers, which showed play in 2020 and dust‑cover damage in 2016. Tyres also appear repeatedly, with notes of nails, perishing, uneven wear and tread approaching the legal limit, so a thorough tread‑depth check and inspection for sidewall cracking is essential. The exhaust system displayed a minor leak in 2016 and the CV joint gaiters were flagged as insecure or deteriorated in 2014, making it worthwhile to examine the rear exhaust pipe for corrosion and the driveshaft boots for integrity. Finally, the steering free play noted in 2010 and the insecure battery recorded in 2011 warrant in‑year‑old vehicles a quick check of steering rack play and battery hold‑down clamps.
