2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · SC10 BWD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 74,509 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a significant failure in June 2025. During that test at 74,481 miles, the car failed due to a major brake imbalance across the front axle and a seized offside front service brake caliper. The subsequent pass just two weeks later indicates the owner addressed these critical safety faults immediately to keep the vehicle legal. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,509 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2025. However, the low mileage often correlates with age-related rubber degradation rather than mechanical wear. The advisories for tyre condition in 2023 and 2024 regarding perishing and surface damage suggest the vehicle may spend long periods of stationary. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the offside front coil spring fractured in June 2023. While the brake failure was resolved, a physical check of the front calipers and discs is necessary to ensure the mechanism is not sticking or prone to seizing again. The slight oil leak noted in 2023 remains a point to monitor to ensure it has not escalated between later tests. Given the age and low usage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and underbody is also essential.
