2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SV64 XKY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in mechanical component integrity. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 94,519 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior at nearly identical mileage. The transition from a clean pass in late 2024 to multiple mechanical failures in 2025 suggests that components are only being addressed when they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. At 94,519 miles over 12 years, the Corsa averages approximately 7,877 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles covered between the annual tests from 2023 to 2025. However, the low annual mileage has not protected the vehicle from age-related rubber degradation, as evidenced by the persistent deterioration of tyres and suspension CV boots noted in the late 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with offside front ball joint dust covers and suspension bushes, alongside a fractured nearside coil spring and misting shock absorber from the previous year. The failure for insufficient brake lever travel in November 2025 is particularly concerning and indicates either worn pads or a failing master cylinder that requires immediate attention. Additionally, the nearside rear tyre should be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as this defect was flagged across two consecutive tests without being fully resolved.
