2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · SW67 MMJ

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-17 recorded two rear tyres with minor cracking on the outer sidewalls and tread edges, classified as 5.2.3 (d) (ii) defects. These are not safety-critical but indicate aging rubber, likely due to prolonged exposure to sunlight or road conditions. No other defects were noted, and the test passed. A failure in the 2025-04-17 MOT revealed both front tyres with exposed ply or cords on the inner tread edges, a more serious issue that would have required immediate replacement. This suggests potential neglect or rapid wear, possibly from aggressive driving, poor alignment, or under-inflation. The same tyres were not flagged in the 2024-04-25 or 2023-04-28 MOTs, implying the damage may have occurred between those dates. The pattern of tyre-related defects shows a shift from front to rear tyres over time. The 2025 failure involved front tyres, while the 2026 issue affects rear tyres. This could indicate uneven wear, changes in driving habits, or suspension/alignment problems. However, no recurring issues beyond tyres were recorded in the rest of the MOT history, suggesting other systems remain in acceptable condition.
