2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · LF13 XJN

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The December 2025 test at 89,809 miles initially resulted in a failure due to insufficient windscreen washer liquid, but the vehicle passed immediately after rectification with no further defects recorded. This follows a similar pattern in December 2024 at 85,271 miles, where an inoperative rear registration plate lamp caused a failure before a successful retest. These recent issues represent minor consumable or electrical bulb failures rather than systemic mechanical decline. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 89,809 miles, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, such as the 7,000-mile increase between the November 2023 test and the December 2024 test, and the 6,900-mile increase between December 2024 and December 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which suggests the vehicle has been in regular use. A prospective buyer should focus on the history of wear items, specifically regarding the braking system and suspension. The 2018 and 2019 tests flagged thinning brake pads and pitted or scored front brake discs, indicating that while these were addressed, the vehicle's braking components require regular monitoring. The 2016 record noted light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers, and the 2019 test identified a worn bush on the offside front shock absorber. While more recent tests show no such issues, a physical inspection of the dampers and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure no new leaks or play have developed. Tyre maintenance has also been an intermittent issue in the past. The 2019 test identified a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and the 2022 test at 69,340 miles noted a nearside front tyre with cracking or perishing. Although the most recent tests show no tyre-related advisories, the history suggests that the previous owners occasionally deferred tyre replacement. Checking the current tread depth and the condition of the sidewalls for age-related cracking remains a necessary step during a physical inspection.
