2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · ML60 GWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 31 March 2026 at 107,332 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recurring issue with a minor oil leak has appeared in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. While this has not yet resulted in a failure, the persistence suggests a slow leak that requires monitoring to ensure it does not escalate into a significant mechanical fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between April 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 11,787 miles, indicating steady and regular use rather than long periods of neglect. The brief gap in records during April 2024, where the vehicle initially failed due to a non-functional offside headlamp main beam, was rectified immediately to pass the subsequent retest. This shows the owner is willing to address safety-critical defects once identified. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the persistent oil leak noted in the last two tests. Given the 2023 failure regarding a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot, a physical check of all rubber protective boots is necessary to ensure no grease leakage or tearing has occurred. While the record does not highlight structural corrosion or brake issues, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough underbody inspection for chassis rust and suspension bushing wear, which are common failure points on Corsas of this era.
