2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SD62 ESO

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-13 shows a pass , but multiple advisories highlight ongoing issues. The offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, the nearside front Macpherson strut bush was worn, and the nearside rear tyre showed cracking. These issues mirror earlier findings, indicating persistent problems with tyres and suspension components. A failed MOT on the same date lists the same tyre and suspension faults, along with a non-working offside rear stop lamp, a malfunctioning engine MIL, and a low headlamp aim. This suggests unresolved or recurring defects, possibly due to incomplete repairs or continued wear. The dual entries for 2026-01-13 (pass and fail) create ambiguity, but the presence of similar issues in prior MOTs points to a stable risk pattern rather than worsening. Recurring defects include tyre wear (front and rear), suspension bush wear (Macpherson strut), and engine MIL malfunctions . These are not uncommon in older vehicles but are concerning here due to the low mileage (2,971 miles per year). Low mileage may indicate under-use , which can lead to rubber component deterioration (tyres, seals) or stagnant fluid systems. However, the frequency of repairs suggests some level of active use .
