2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · PL16 OVO

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a previous mechanical failure. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 61,994 miles passed, although the tester identified minor defects regarding perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. This indicates that while the primary mechanical components are passing, the rubber-based consumables are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation despite the relatively low annual mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between the June 2022 and May 2025 tests, the car covered 16,019 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate. The lack of mileage-related failures in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests that the drivetrain and major structural components have not been subjected to excessive stress from long-distance travel. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry, noting the fractured nearside front coil spring recorded in 2022 at 45,975 miles. While this was repaired to allow a subsequent pass, the recurring nature of tyre-related issues in 2025 suggests the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which leads to dry rot. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and a check of the remaining suspension bushings is necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked uneven wear or perished perished components.
