2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · KX55 KAT

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 45,902 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in December 2024 at 40,094 miles, indicating that the vehicle has moved past the minor consumable issues that characterised its earlier MOT history. The mileage pattern shows very low usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,173 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual accumulation of mileage, moving from 14,845 miles in December 2018 to 45,902 miles in November 2025. While low mileage reduces wear on mechanical drivetrain components, the intervals between tests suggest the car spends significant time stationary. The MOT history highlights a recurring trend of tyre degradation related to age rather than mileage. In December 2022, the tester flagged perishing tyre walls, and the December 2023 test noted cracking or perishing on all four tyres. Although the 2025 test shows no defects, a buyer must physically inspect the sidewalls and tread depth of all tyres to ensure they have not aged since the last inspection. The presence of child seats during several tests, specifically in 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024, prevented full inspections of the adult seat belts, so these should be checked for tension and locking mechanisms. The mechanical record is largely free of serious structural or suspension concerns. Previous failures were limited to minor consumables, such as a defective wiper blade in December 2020, misaligned washer jets in December 2022, and a low tread depth failure in November 2021. There are no recorded advisories regarding brake binding, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A physical inspection should focus on confirming that the recent lack of defects reflects a well-maintained vehicle rather than just a lack of heavy use.
