2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · RO08 COG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 2026-05-30 at 92,010 miles, though the test revealed two minor defects that were previously recorded in the same test cycle. The front brake discs remain worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and the front brake pads are still wearing thin on both sides—indicating a persistent issue with brake wear that has not been addressed despite being flagged in prior tests. The nearside rear stop lamp failure was also noted, which was resolved in the subsequent pass, suggesting a temporary electrical fault. Overall, the maintenance trend shows no improvement in the critical braking system, indicating ongoing neglect of brake component replacement. The mileage accumulation over the past three years reflects consistent use: from 60,211 miles in May 2023 to 68,569 (8,358 miles), then 78,373 (9,804 miles), and finally 92,010 (13,637 miles) by May 2026. This marks a significant increase in annual mileage, particularly in the most recent year, which may accelerate wear on brakes, tyres, suspension, and drivetrain components. There are no gaps in testing, with annual MOTs consistently completed, suggesting regular attention to legal compliance, though the recurring brake issues imply that preventative maintenance has not kept pace with usage. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front brake system, including disc thickness, pad wear, caliper movement, and potential binding, as these components have shown repeated deterioration. Suspension bushes, steering linkages, and coil springs should be checked for wear, given the high mileage and age. The front tyres showed edge wear in 2025, indicating possible alignment or suspension misalignment, which could contribute to uneven tyre degradation. Additionally, the history of the rear stop lamp failure warrants verification of wiring integrity and bulb functionality. Structural rust, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined, as the vehicle’s age and exposure to UK weather conditions may have led to corrosion in hidden areas.
