2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SL60 NXC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following its most recent test in September 2025 at 59,215 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. This represents an improvement over the September 2024 test where the car failed due to a defective headlamp and perished tyres. The lack of defects in the latest inspection indicates that the current owner addressed the mechanical issues identified in the previous year. The recorded mileage of 59,215 miles over sixteen years reflects a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of nearly 10,000 miles between September 2024 and September 2025, suggesting the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in early 2024. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system due to history of corrosion. The June 2023 test at 44,077 miles flagged corrosion on both the offside and nearside front suspension arms, alongside pitted front brake discs. Although these did not result in failures that year, the presence of underseal noted in March 2024 suggests an attempt to mask surface rust. A thorough inspection should check for structural integrity on these suspension mounting points and ensure that the corrosion has not progressed beyond the advisory stage despite the low mileage.
