2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · LO13 KXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in August 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of instability regarding the braking system. A significant failure occurred on August 5, 2025 at 67,381 miles, where the tester flagged the front service brake efficiency as less than 50% of the required value. While the car passed just two days later, this indicates a major intervention was required to rectify a critical safety deficiency rather than routine wear. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,388 miles represents low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,184 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent in recent years, with only 1,121 miles covered between June 2024 and August 2025, and 1,544 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. Such low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components but often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and components due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and engine seals. The 2024 test noted pitting and scoring on both front brake discs, followed by the severe efficiency failure in 2025, which suggests the calipers or hydraulic lines may be corroding or that components have seized from low use. Additionally, the 2023 report of an oil leak requires a close visual check of the head cover gasket and crank seal to ensure the leak has not worsened, as low mileage often masks slow seepage that accumulates over time.
