2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SF15 TPT

The most recent MOT (15 Aug 2025) was a clean pass at 44,896 mi with no recorded defects, suggesting the car was road‑worthy at the time of testing. A recurring issue is the front brake discs. In 2023 the discs were noted as worn and pitted, and in mid‑2024 the MOT recorded them as “significantly and obviously worn”, leading to a failure. The 2025 pass implies the discs were likely replaced or resurfaced, but the history shows brake wear is a repeat problem that should be checked again. Other minor concerns have appeared once each: a tyre close to the legal limit (2023), a small windscreen chip (2023), and a corroded rear brake pipe (2022). None of these re‑occurred in later tests, which may indicate they were remedied. Overall the trend appears to be stabilising – the car moved from a failure in 2024 to a clean pass in 2025. However, the pattern of front‑brake wear means the braking system remains the primary risk area. Mileage is very low for a 2015 model – about 4,000 mi per year. This could mean the car has been lightly used, which often translates to less wear on major components, but it can also suggest long periods of inactivity that may allow corrosion or rubber degradation to develop.
