2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SA18 ABF

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 49,970 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations from 2022 to 2026, the vehicle cleared every test without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record indicates consistent statutory compliance and suggests the previous keeper addressed any wear before each due date. Annual mileage averaged 6,246 across the car's eight-year life, a typical figure for the age. The odometer moved from 26,672 miles at the 28 March 2022 test to 34,051 by 28 March 2023, then 38,585 on 25 March 2024, 44,500 on 31 March 2025, and 49,970 on 31 March 2026. The yearly increments sit between 5,400 and 7,500 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults yet clean throughout, showing no consumable neglect or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. The tester logged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, but annual passes do not capture emerging wear between tests. Examine the front suspension arms and rear axle for perishing bushes, and check brake calipers for free movement after the car's light-use pattern. Confirm underside condition for early surface rust given the vehicle's age, and verify tyre sidewall dates and tread depth independently. The clean record implies careful ownership, though low annual miles can mask seized linkages or flat-spotted tyres from prolonged standing that a single annual test may not expose.
