2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · NX65 NLC

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 recorded a failure with three tyre-related defects: offside front tyre worn close to legal limit, nearside and offside rear tyres with exposed ply or cords, and a non-functional nearside registration plate lamp. These issues indicate significant tyre wear and potential safety risks, particularly with the rear tyres, which could compromise handling and braking. A pattern of recurring tyre damage and suspension issues emerges from the MOT history. In 2025-02-17, the vehicle failed due to serious shock absorber fluid leaks and perishing tyres, with subsequent failures highlighting similar tyre degradation. While the 2026 MOT does not mention shock absorbers, the repeated tyre problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges or underlying mechanical stress. The condition trend appears stable but concerning. Tyre-related failures have recurred across multiple MOTs, with no evidence of improvement. The 2025-02-17 failures included severe shock absorber issues, which may have been addressed before the 2026 MOT, but the absence of confirmation makes this uncertain. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,890 miles (roughly 9,081 annual miles) aligns with typical usage for its age, but the tyre wear could reflect either heavy use or inadequate maintenance. Mileage alone does not strongly indicate heavy wear or under-use, as the figure is average for an 11-year-old vehicle.
