2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · ST66 APF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates the onset of age-related wear. The MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 47,468 miles flagged two minor advisories involving a perished offside rear tyre and a pitted nearside front brake disc. These issues represent a departure from the clean records of 2022 through 2024, suggesting that components are now reaching their functional life limits. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,750 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent pattern of light usage, with only 4,430 miles covered between the 2024 and September 2025 tests. While this low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between use or low annual mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the oxidation of exposed metal surfaces, as evidenced by the cracking and per noted on the tyre sidewall in the latest test. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system during a physical evaluation. The nearside front disc passed the 2025 test with pitting and scoring, which often results from infrequent use or moisture-induced corrosion rather than heavy braking. Verifying the brake pads for uneven wear and ensuring that the calipers are not seizing is essential. It is also necessary to check for dry rot in suspension bushes and tyres, as these elements often fail due to time and exposure regardless of the low mileage driven.
