2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · ML64 TGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of deferred mechanical repairs. While the car passed its July 2025 test at 90,888 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple front suspension defects. The tester identified a worn nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, an excessively worn upper shock absorber bush, and a worn suspension arm pin or bush. These issues were rectified to achieve the pass, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 90,888 miles over 12 years, the Corsa averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 5,600 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 6,600 miles between June 2024 and July 2025. This steady mileage suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components seen in the suspension history. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The recurring failures of anti-roll bar components and suspension bushes in 2023 and 2025 indicate that the front-end assembly is experiencing significant wear. The 2023 advisory also noted pitted and scored front brake discs; the buyer should verify the current thickness of these discs and check for any signs of binding calipers. Additionally, given the previous issues with wiper linkage and worn tyres, the functional state of the wipers and the remaining tread depth should be checked to ensure they are not once again nearing the legal limit.
