2021 Vauxhall Corsa SE Premium Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · SD21 FFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 19,896 miles passed despite several significant new advisories regarding perished tyres and a fluctuating offside rear service brake. While the car passed, the appearance of multiple wear-related faults across consecutive years suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds or trigger an MOT defect. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage, moving from 12,677 miles in March 2024 to 19,896 miles by March 2026. However, this low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components. This is evidenced by the 2026 report of cracking and perishing tyres, indicating the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods despite having remaining tread depth. A buyer must scrutinise the rear braking system specifically, as the record indicates a history of issues. The tester noted pitted and scored discs in 2025, followed by a fluctuating caliper in 2026. This suggests a potential sticking caliper or uneven pad wear that requires a thorough physical inspection. Additionally, the recurring mentions of tyres worn on the outer edges across 2025 and 2026 point to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent further premature wear of new tyres.
