2023 Vauxhall Corsa GS Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · NL72 DLJ

Tyre tread on both the nearside and off‑side front wheels is already at the legal minimum and the nearside windscreen wiper was judged ineffective, causing an MOT failure on 15 January 2026; the same test also recorded advisories for the front tyre wear, indicating that the primary mechanical concern for this vehicle centres on tyre condition and the wiper system rather than any broader systemic faults. At 25,594 miles the car has covered roughly 8,500 miles per year since its 2023 registration, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a three‑year‑old hatchback. The MOT record shows no gaps in testing and no other recorded failures, suggesting the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which limits the likelihood of age‑related component degradation beyond the items already flagged. Prospective buyers should inspect the front tyres for tread depth below 1.6 mm, side‑wall damage, or uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes; a road test should include a feel for any vibration or pulling to one side at higher speeds, which would corroborate underlying alignment or suspension issues. The windscreen wiper must be able to clear the glass in a single pass – check for streaking, squeaking, or slow blade movement, and verify that the wiper motor and linkage operate smoothly without excessive noise. Given the immediate safety relevance of the tyre wear and wiper deficiency, replacement of both front tyres and repair or replacement of the nearside wiper assembly should be treated as a prerequisite before regular use. With those items addressed, the vehicle’s MOT history shows no further structural or mechanical concerns, but a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection is advisable to confirm that suspension components, brake pads and discs, and the exhaust system remain within acceptable limits.
