2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SR15 ABO

The Corsa holds a current MOT certificate issued on 6 July 2026 at 39,914 miles with no defects recorded, marking a clean bill of health for the first time in several cycles. The maintenance trend has shifted from a pattern of repeated brake and tyre failures to a stable, pass-first-time outcome, although the 2025 test at 34,042 miles flagged worn front brake discs and both front tyres at the legal limit, suggesting the latest pass may reflect recent remedial work rather than inherent durability. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 3,600 miles since registration, confirming light use, yet the interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests saw a jump to nearly 5,900 miles, the highest single-year accumulation on record. Earlier years show consistent low returns, often below 3,000 miles, with the 2021 to 2022 period covering only 2,862 miles. This irregular usage profile often accelerates brake disc corrosion and tyre degradation through prolonged standing, a factor visible in the advisory history. A buyer should inspect the front braking system closely; the vehicle has failed on pad thickness twice, in July 2019 at 18,491 miles and July 2023 at 29,197 miles, with the 2025 advisory confirming disc wear on both sides. Persistent outer-edge wear on the nearside front tyre, noted in 2018, 2022 and again in 2025 alongside the offside front, points to a possible geometry misalignment or worn suspension bushes that has not been corrected. The offside front coil spring fracture recorded in June 2021 was repaired to pass, but the surrounding mounts and the opposing spring deserve scrutiny for similar fatigue.
