2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SP63 UOY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on July 15, 2025, at 78,862 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactivity, evidenced by a failure that same day just six miles prior due to a worn nearside front Macpherson strut top bush or bearing. While the immediate fault was rectified to achieve the recent pass, the history indicates a pattern where components are addressed only after failing or nearing an inspection rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 72,803 miles and the July 2025 test at 78,862 miles, the car covered exactly 6,000 miles. This relatively low annual usage explains the recurring degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perished tyres and suspension bushes noted in the records from 2023 and 2024. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically checking for further play in the strut mounts following the recent failure. The 2024 test flagged a corroded nearside rear coil spring and pitted front brake discs, suggesting the vehicle may sit for extended periods or operate in environments prone to surface rust. Given the repeated mentions of perished rear tyres in 2023 and 2024, the current age of the fitted tyres must be verified for sidewall cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
