2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · ND65 EFE

The vehicle passed its 6 March 2026 MOT at 103,832 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance record and no evident worsening of mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 31,954 miles in January 2019 to 103,832 miles by March 2026, averaging about 10,383 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car; however, the steepest increases occurred between August 2024 and August 2025, when mileage jumped from 79,695 to 97,533 miles, suggesting periods of intensive use or reduced standing time. A buyer should examine the front track‑rod end ball joint, which showed excessive play in the 11 August 2025 test, and verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any binding or wear. The previous MOTs recorded worn brake discs and pads below 1.5 mm thickness in September 2020, so a close inspection of brake disc surface, pad thickness and caliper operation is essential. Tyre condition warrants attention, as repeated findings of edge wear, perishing cracks and tread depths near the legal limit indicate possible neglect of tyre replacement and alignment; the buyer should check tread depth, sidewall integrity and look for any rust on wheel arches or chassis that could compromise structural integrity. Additional checks should include the front registration plate for corrosion, the functionality of the front position lamp, washer fluid levels, antifreeze concentration and the condition of the windscreen washer system, all of which were noted as deficiencies in earlier tests but have not recurred in the latest inspection.
