2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · MS02 ABZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the June 2026 test at 47,627 miles. This follows a period of mechanical instability in late 2024, where the car failed its MOT due to multiple suspension and tyre defects. The transition from the 2024 failure to the clean results in 2025 and 2026 indicates that the identified faults were addressed, showing an improving maintenance trend. The mileage profile suggests very light usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,330 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 8,900 miles, which is a slight uptick compared to the more recent interval of 6,512 miles recorded between September 2024 and June 2025. While low mileage generally implies less drivetrain wear, the history shows that the vehicle has experienced periods of neglect regarding consumable items like tyres. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension system during a physical inspection. The September 2024 test flagged corrosion on both the offside front and offside rear coil springs, alongside a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush. Although these were cleared in subsequent tests, the presence of corrosion on components can sometimes indicate a tendency for moisture retention or environmental damage. It is advisable to inspect the underside for any signs of spreading surface rust on the suspension mounting points. The tyre history also warrants attention. The 2023 and 2024 records show repeated issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having cords exposed. This pattern suggests that previous owners may have been reactive rather than proactive with tyre replacement. While the current MOT shows no tyre defects, a thorough check of the tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four tyres is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not due for immediate expenditure.
