2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · LD64 EUW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates an inconsistent pattern. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 55,287 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, this followed an immediate failure on the same day. This suggests the owner only addresses faults when specifically prompted by an inspection failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The trend remains volatile, as the car has failed two out of its last three MOT attempts despite the low overall mileage figures. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the September 2024 test at 43,527 miles and the February 2026 test, where 11,760 miles were covered over seventeen months. This indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. Low-mileage, high-age vehicles often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes, sidewalls, and brake lines, which can perish or crack despite minimal use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension assembly to check for structural corrosion, which frequently affects Vauxhall models of this era. Given the recurring failures without specific defect descriptions listed in this summary, the buyer should check the braking system for binding calipers or seized sliders that often occur when a car is used for intermittent distances. Verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, as low tread depth often masks the deterioration of the rubber compound over a decade.
