2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SA67 YRE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 June 2025. However, the maintenance trend is worsening, as the most recent test at 54,416 miles flagged imbalanced rear brakes that only just met the minimum requirements. This suggests a lack of preventative maintenance on the braking system, moving from minor wear in previous years to a borderline failure. The mileage pattern is consistent for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. The records show a steady increase from 21,772 miles in September 2020 to the current 54,416 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in usage, indicating the car has been used regularly rather than left to stand for long periods. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The rear tyres have been flagged as cracking or perishing in three consecutive tests dating back to June 2023. The fact that these advisories persist across three years suggests the owner ignored the recommendation to replace them. This pattern of neglect extends to the brakes, which showed lipped discs and thin pads in September 2020 and progressed to fluctuating front brakes in June 2021 and imbalanced rear brakes in June 2025. The exhaust flexi pipe leak noted in June 2023 should also be verified to ensure it was repaired. While the car has avoided major structural corrosion or suspension failure, the recurring tyre and brake advisories indicate a reactive approach to maintenance. A thorough check of the rear brake calipers and a full set of new tyres are likely required to bring the vehicle up to a professional standard of care.
