2021 Vauxhall Corsa E SRI Premium Electricity · SH71 YXR

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent passing result in February 2026 at 31,264 miles, though the record indicates a trend of deferred consumable maintenance. While the most recent test passed, the tester flagged several advisories including sidewall cracking on the nearside front inner tyre and pitting or scoring on both front brake discs. These issues suggest that while the car is currently roadworthy, the owner tends to run components toward the end of their service life rather than replacing them proactively. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age. The car covered 3,579 miles between December 2024 and February 2026, which aligns with the overall average of approximately 6,253 miles per year. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, but the December 2024 test shows a period where maintenance was neglected, resulting in a failure due to multiple tyres being worn close to the legal limit and near-failure of the rear brake pads and discs. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The recurring advisories for pitted and scored brake discs across both the 2024 failure and the 2026 pass suggest that the braking surfaces may be uneven or heavily corroded. I recommend checking the thickness of the remaining pads and ensuring the calipers are not binding. Additionally, the sidewall damage noted on the nearside front inner tyre requires close scrutiny to ensure no structural deformation exists in the tyre carcass. Given the history of tyre failures in late 2024, the overall condition of the rubber should be assessed for uneven wear patterns which could indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues. The vehicle's low mileage is an advantage, but the tendency to allow consumables to reach advisory or failure thresholds means the next service should ideally include a comprehensive check of all wear items.
