2019 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SA19 KNM

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 20 February 2026 at 50,340 miles with zero defects. That outcome is significant because it follows a failed test on the exact same day in February 2025, where the tester flagged three separate headlamp aim deficiencies on both the nearside and offside. The fact that those lighting faults were rectified immediately and have not recurred suggests the previous owner addressed the issue promptly rather than ignoring it. The record shows no structural corrosion, no suspension defects, and no braking system failures at the most recent inspection. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car covered 17,883 miles between the May 2023 test at 17,470 miles and the February 2025 test at 32,457 miles, then added 17,883 miles again by the February 2026 test at 50,340 miles. That equates to roughly 8,900 miles per year over each of the last two annual cycles, slightly above the typical 7,191 miles per year average across the car's full life. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged storage. The annual test pattern itself is regular, with inspections clustered around the same February window in 2025 and 2026, though the 2024 test fell in May, indicating a possible change in renewal timing. Buyers should still inspect the front brake discs closely. In the May 2024 test at 25,130 miles, both nearside and offside front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened at that stage. By the 2026 test at 50,340 miles, no brake defects were recorded, meaning the discs and pads were likely replaced in the intervening period. Verify that work by checking for fresh components and even disc surfaces. The front tyres also drew advisories in May 2023 at 17,470 miles for edge wear, which can indicate aggressive cornering or misaligned tracking. Inspect the current tyres for uneven wear patterns and have the tracking geometry checked. The headlamp aim faults from early 2025 were minor and resolved, but confirm the self-levelling mechanism, if fitted, functions correctly.
