2021 Vauxhall Corsa Elite Edition 1.2L Petrol · SD71 BYB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test in September 2025. The maintenance trend shows a minor decline from the clean 2024 record, as the car failed its initial test due to a damaged offside front tyre and worn brake discs. However, the immediate pass at the same mileage of 16,653 miles indicates that the owner addressed these safety-critical defects promptly. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,331 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 11,796 miles and the September 2025 test at 16,653 miles, the car covered only 4,857 miles. This low usage pattern suggests short-distance commuting or long periods of stationary time, which can sometimes lead to specific issues such as brake corrosion or flat-spotting tyres despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should physically inspect the front braking assembly specifically, as the tester flagged both the nearside and offside discs as worn during the 2025 inspection. While these did not cause a failure upon rectification, the premature wear of discs on such a low-mileage vehicle often indicates sticking calipers or moisture rust from the car sitting. Additionally, verify the offside front tyre condition to ensure the structural cut that caused the previous failure has not resulted in internal ply damage or bulges.
