2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · MK16 SNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 23 June 2026 at 58,817 miles. This most recent test recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting the car is in a healthy state of repair. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,882 miles per year. Usage patterns remained consistent for several years, though a significant increase in activity occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 38,685 to 48,836 miles. This period of higher usage does not appear to have compromised the vehicle's long term condition. Past failures indicate a history of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. On 8 July 2022 at 30,220 miles, the car failed on worn front brake discs and pads alongside a headlamp fault. The tester also flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit on the same day. These are standard consumable items, but the fact they reached a failure point suggests the previous owner waited for the MOT to identify necessary replacements. A more serious mechanical failure occurred on 2 July 2025 at 56,364 miles, where a snapped rear bolt on the nearside front suspension arm threatened to detach the component. While this was rectified for the pass the following day, a buyer should verify the current condition of all suspension bushes and mounting bolts. Given the low mileage and the specific failure of a suspension bolt, checking for signs of corrosion or seizing in the undercarriage is advised to ensure no other fasteners have degraded.
