2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · KW15 WTK

This 2015 Vauxhall Corsa has a typical mileage of roughly 7,410 miles per year, which suggests standard wear rather than extreme hard use or prolonged neglect. However, the recent MOT history reveals a clear and worsening pattern of front suspension deterioration. In late 2025, the vehicle failed two MOTs within a week for excessive wear and play in the offside front Macpherson strut top mount, slight play in the nearside front strut top mount, and damaged track rod end dust covers on both sides. It also failed for an exhaust gas leak and Lambda readings outside specified limits. It finally passed on the third attempt just days later, but the suspension issues remained as advisories, alongside a nearside front tyre suffering from cracking or perishing. The trend is definitely worsening. The 2024 MOT saw a failure for a broken offside front coil spring and worn front brakes, which were fixed to achieve a clean pass. By 2025, the front strut top mounts and track rod ends have degraded further, and a new exhaust emissions problem has surfaced. Passing the final 2025 test without fixing the suspension or exhaust properly suggests the car barely met minimum standards or had temporary adjustments. The main risk right now is the front suspension assembly.
