2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · PX15 CYY

The 2025‑11‑24 MOT at 99,402 miles passed, confirming the Vauxhall Corsa is presently roadworthy; however, the record reveals a stable but slightly worsening maintenance trend, with recurring minor defects such as worn rear brake discs, thin brake pads, and tyre wear near the legal limit. The preceding 2024‑08‑29 test at 77,241 miles also passed, noting slight play in the off‑side front anti‑roll bar ball joint and a damaged dust cover on the near‑side front track rod end, indicating that these wear items have persisted rather than been resolved. Mileage accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s 11‑year age, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year; the interval from 2024 to 2025 shows a rapid increase of 22,161 miles in five months, suggesting a period of intensive use, while earlier years display a steady, typical progression without prolonged gaps. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake assembly for disc pitting or scoring beyond the 1.1.14 (a) (ii) limit, verify pad thickness against the 1.1.13 (a) (ii) specification, and assess tyre tread depth and edge wear. Particular attention must be given to the front suspension: examine the anti‑roll bar ball joint for play, inspect the track rod end dust cover and ball joint condition, and confirm the integrity of the coil spring, which fractured in 2021 but may have been replaced. The inspection should also include checking the heat shield for secure fitting, looking for any structural rust on the chassis or wheel arches, and ensuring the exhaust system meets emission standards; these items, together with the recurring brake and suspension wear, constitute the principal technical concerns that a prospective purchaser must verify before finalising the transaction.
