2020 Vauxhall Corsa SE Premium 1.2L Petrol · LS20 NHL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 April 2026 at 74,635 miles, though four advisories were recorded on that test. Looking at the broader pattern across the four recorded tests from 2023 to 2026, the trend is one of accumulating advisories rather than clean bills of health. The 2023 test at an unspecified mileage recorded no defects, but every subsequent test has produced tyre-related advisories, indicating either consistent marginal tread wear or neglect of tyre condition between tests. Annual mileage is notably high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,439 miles per year based on the recorded odometer reading. The gap between the 2024 test and the 2025 test is unrecorded in terms of mileage, but the vehicle added approximately 10,000 to 12,000 miles between mid-2025 and April 2026 if a steady rate of accumulation is assumed. This rate of use accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, which is consistent with the advisory pattern seen across the record. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the front tyres and brake components. Front tyre tread has been flagged as worn close to the legal limit at both the 2024 and 2026 tests, suggesting either rapid shoulder wear potentially linked to tracking or suspension geometry issues, or repeated failure to replace tyres promptly. The 2026 test also recorded front brake pads wearing thin, and combined with the 2025 advisories on rear tyre cracking and perishing, the braking and tyre systems warrant close physical inspection. The rear tyres should be checked for sidewall integrity given the deterioration noted in 2025, and the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel alignment should be examined for any uneven wear pattern that might explain the recurring edge wear on the front tyres. Overall, the record shows no structural or safety failures, but the persistent pattern of tyre and brake advisories suggests components are being run close to their service limits. The advisory items on the most recent test should be addressed promptly, and a buyer should budget for replacement of all four tyres and the front brake pads in the near term. Risk Level: Medium. Buying Score: 55.
