2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · ML67 XEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent test on June 2 2026 at 58,383 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable but reactive pattern, where faults are addressed only upon inspection failure or advisory. While the 2025 test was clean, the June 2026 result identified multiple tyre-related issues and a nail, suggesting that the owner prioritizes meeting the minimum legal standard rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 38,223 miles and June 2026 at 58,383 miles, the car covered 20,160 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. This low annual mileage generally suggests less strain on major drivetrain components, though it explains the presence of perishing rubber components like the tyres, which often degrade due to age regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the June 2025 failure due to damaged track rod end ball joint dust covers indicates previous component vulnerability. The recurring mentions of perishing and cracking tyres across 2023 and 2026 highlight that the rubber compounds are reaching the end of their structural life, so a physical check of sidewall integrity and tread depth is necessary. Additionally, the 2023 advisory noted thin front brake pads, so the current state of the friction material should be verified to ensure they were actually replaced since that warning.
