2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · PL65 PDV

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 with 73,680 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a minor failure in early 2025 which was immediately rectified. The most recent test showed no adviseories or defects, indicating that the vehicle is being maintained sufficiently to meet basic safety standards. At 73,680 miles over ten years, the car has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a consistent pattern of mileage accumulation, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 25,000 miles in the final year. This regular use suggests the mechanical components have not been subjected to long periods of stagnation, which often causes seal-related issues. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 failure identified heavily track rod end dust covers on both the nearside and offside. While these were repaired, such faults can indicate that rubber bushings and ball joints are beginning to age. An in-person inspection should check for any play in the steering or uneven wear on the front tyres to ensure the repairs remain effective. Additionally, while the nail in the nearside rear tyre was resolved in 2025, the overall condition of the remaining tyres should be assessed for tread depth and signs of cracking. Given the age of recorded structural defects in the history, the focus should remain on the mechanical health of the consumable items and ensuring no new leaks or suspension noises have developed since the last successful test.
