2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SW16 BFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in April 2026. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of mechanical neglect in 2025. The most recent failure at 69,359 miles was a minor presentation issue regarding a phone holder obstructing the windscreen, which was immediately rectified to achieve a clean pass. This indicates that the current owner is responsive to MOT failures and ensures the vehicle remains compliant with basic legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression between 54,401 miles in April 2024 and 62,616 miles in March 2025, reaching 69,359 miles by the latest test. This relatively low annual annual mileage suggests light urban use, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and interior components compared to high-mileage motorway cars. A buyer should scrutinize the front suspension components given the significant failures recorded in March 2025. The tester flagged a fractured offside front coil spring and a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber. While these appear to have been addressed before the subsequent pass, a physical inspection should check for any residual fluid residue or signs of uneven wear. The 2024 advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs suggests the braking system is nearing the end of its optimal life, so the thickness and condition of the pads and rotors should be verified.
