2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · TY03 AND

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward developing mechanical and electrical defects. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 71,600 miles resulted in a pass following a failure due to an ineffective windscreen wiper, reduced light intensity in both rear position lamps, and a cut nearside front tyre. While these were rectified immediately, the appearance of a non-excessive oil leak indicates the beginning of potential seal degradation that will require close monitoring. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 49,800 miles in July 2022 to 71,600 miles in July 2025, representing an increase of roughly 7,300 miles over that three-year period. This low-annual usage suggests the car has seen light road use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though it increases the likelihood of rubber components perishing from age. A buyer must focus specifically on the oil leak identified in the 2025 test to determine if it is a simple sump cover gasket or a more significant engine seal. The 2024 record noted a minor exhaust leak at the flexi-section, which should be inspected for corrosion or cracking to ensure the exhaust system is not nearing the end of its life. Additionally, the history of perishing offside tyres in 2024 and a cut nearside tyre in 2025 necessitates a thorough check of all remaining tyres for sidewall artwork and adequate tread, as the low mileage does not prevent age-related rubber degradation.
