2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · MD65 EYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive ownership. While the most recent test on 13 January 2025 at 78,643 miles passed, the vehicle initially failed due to an inoperative engine management indication lamp (MIL). This indicates an electronic or sensor fault that was addressed shortly before the re-test. The history of intermittent failures suggests that mechanical issues are only rectified when they result in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,150 miles per annum. Between January 2023 at 65,411 miles and January 2024 at 74,592 miles, the car covered 9,181 miles, showing slightly higher than average use during that period. This regular use is generally beneficial for mechanical components and seals, though there are no significant gaps in the records that would suggest long-term stationary storage or unrecorded mileage spikes. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. The January 2024 test flagged an offside front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover failure and noted the brake pedal was wearing smooth. While the anti-roll bar issue was resolved, the recurring mention of the brake pedal suggests a need to inspect the master cylinder, brake lines, and fluid condition. Furthermore, the vehicle previously failed due to a supplementary reinforcement system (SRS) warning lamp; the buyer should verify that the airbag warning light is now extinguished and that the system has not been manually cleared without a proper repair.
