2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · TN02 ASH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass on July 24, 2025 at 96,707 miles. This result rectified a minor failure from a re-test just two days prior, which had been due to a nearside rear tyre with tread depth below the legal 1.6mm limit. The fact that the owner addressed this consumable issue immediately suggests a proactive approach to maintaining compliance, with no mechanical or structural defects currently recorded on the official history. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 69,018 miles and the July 2025 test at 96,707 miles, the car covered 27,689 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy-. This regular interval is generally beneficial for rubber components, suspension bushes, and brake seals, which tend to dry out or perish when a vehicle sits stationary. A physical inspection should focus on components most prone to wear as the Corsa nears the 100,000-mile mark. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and check for excessive corrosion on the rear structural sills and wheel arches. Given the previous failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp, a quick functional check of all exterior lighting and bulb wiring is necessary to ensure the connections remain secure. The buyer should also inspect for signs of oil leaks from the shock absorbers, as these are common points of failure on this model at this mileage.
