2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · LL64 HXE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent recorded test in November 2022 at 110,054 miles passed after an initial failure related to headlamp aim and a damaged windscreen. While the vehicle met minimum requirements then, the lack of any MOT records for the nearly four years leading up to August 2026 suggests the car has been off the road or unregistered for a significant period. At 110,054 miles over 12 years, the Corsa averages approximately 9,171 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a notable surge in mileage between November 2019 and November 2021, where the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in two years. Following this period, usage slowed considerably, with only 17,851 miles recorded between the 2021 and 2022 tests. This erratic mileage pattern can sometimes lead to rubber components drying out during periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and tyre components. The 2020 test flagged a leaking offside rear shock absorber, and the recurring failures in 2018 and 2021 regarding tyre tread depth—including a total failure where three tyres were below 1.6mm—suggest a history of neglecting basic consumables. You should check the current state of all four tyres for uneven wear and inspect the shock absorbers for further oil leakage to ensure the damping has not deteriorated. Given the long gap since the last MOT in 2022, a thorough mechanical check is essential. Focus particular attention on structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, which is common for Vauxhalls of this era. The previous issues with a damaged windscreen across multiple years should be verified to ensure the glass is secure and has not developed new cracks since the last official inspection.
