2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SD65 EXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 89,698 miles passed with a single advisory for an offside front track rod end ball joint with slight play. This follows a period of more frequent mechanical failures, but the trend has stabilized over the last twelve months. The recurring nature of minor faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage progression is generally consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the records between October 2022 and October 2023. The record shows 103,082 miles in October 2022 but drops to 76,339 miles in October 2023, which indicates a data entry error or a potential odometer issue that requires verification. Since the 2023 test, the car has covered roughly 13,000 miles, which is higher but aligns with typical usage patterns. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and steering, as the history shows repeated issues including a fractured nearside coil spring in 2022 and track rod wear in 2025. The exhaust system has also been a concern, progressing from a major leak in 2022 to a minor leak recorded in 2023. This suggests the exhaust assembly may not have been fully replaced but rather partially patched or adjusted. Brake maintenance shows a history of neglect, with thin pads and worn discs flagged in late 2022. The tyre condition is a consistent recurring fault, with multiple failures and advisories for low tread and uneven wear stretching from 2018 to 2023. A physical inspection should verify the current alignment to explain the edge wear and ensure the engine management system light, which previously failed as inoperative, and the defective headlamp, are fully functional.
