2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · LO64 APZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-11 resulted in a failure despite the vehicle having 33,307 miles. Key issues included rear tyres with slight damage/cracking, a corroded front sub-frame (not seriously weakened), light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber, and a non-working nearside rear stop lamp. These findings indicate ongoing concerns with tyre condition, suspension integrity, and electrical systems. Recurring mechanical patterns include corrosion on suspension components (front sub-frame, coil springs) and tyre degradation . The front sub-frame corrosion was first noted in 2025, while coil spring corrosion appeared in 2022 and 2023. Tyre issues have been documented in 2022, 2024, and 2025, suggesting persistent wear or environmental exposure. The 2025 failure also introduced a stop lamp malfunction, a new safety risk. The condition trend shows no clear improvement . Corrosion and tyre damage have reoccurred across multiple MOTs, and the 2025 failure included a new electrical issue. While some components (e.g., track rod end dust covers) were addressed in earlier years, the persistence of corrosion and tyre problems implies ongoing exposure to moisture or neglect.
