2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SA68 EOV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its pass on September 16 2025. While the most recent test showed no failures, the trend indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance regarding the braking system. The 2025 advisories flagged the front brake discs as being pitted or scored, along with thinning brake pads, suggesting that consumable braking components are now nearing their replacement limit after a clean record in 2024. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 30,259 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 3,782 miles. This low-use pattern often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components. The record shows consistent annual testing intervals between 2022 and 2025, though the gap in September 2023 shows two entries on the same day, where the vehicle initially failed the test due to a fractured offside front coil spring. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking assembly, as the pitting on the discs noted in the 2025 test indicates surface corrosion or heat damage. The previous failure of the coil spring warrants a physical check of the suspension geometry for signs of uneven tyre wear or perished bushings. Given the low mileage, it is also necessary to check for seized brake calipers or perished hoses, which are common issues in vehicles that remain stationary for long periods between uses. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
