2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · MM64 DFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in the November 2025 test at 72,294 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The car failed just two days prior to that successful test due to dual suspension failures, with both the nearside and offside front coil springs fractured. While these faults were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurring nature of suspension-related issues suggests components are reaching the end of their life. At 12 years old, the recorded 72,294 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with low-use patterns. The mileage accumulation is steady across the annual records, showing roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles driven between tests from 2022 to 2025. This low mileage often results in less wear on the drivetrain, but it can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces, as seen in this record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the entire suspension and exhaust system. The history shows persistent corrosion on the rear coil springs in 2023 and 2024, followed by the total failure of the front springs in 2025. The rear silencer was also flagged for corrosion and looseness across multiple years, indicating that the structural integrity of the exhaust system is deteriorating. Additionally, the 2022 report of pitted and scored front brake discs suggests that the braking components may have suffered from sitting periods, which warrants a check for current thickness and surface rust.
