2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · TY56 LLL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 27 June 2025 at 126,467 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than preventative upkeep, as evidenced by a failure earlier that same month at 129,467 miles due to lighting faults including incorrect headlamp aim, a nearside position lamp, and a stop lamp. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the history suggests the owner only addresses defects once they result in a formal test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per annum. There is a discrepancy in the records between the July 2024 test at 124,614 miles and the June 2025 failure at 129,467 miles, where the car covered nearly 5,000 miles in eleven months. However, the recorded mileage in the June 2025 pass (126,467) is lower than the mileage recorded during the failure just weeks prior, indicating a potential data entry error or a rolling odometer that requires clarification. A physical inspection must prioritise the structural integrity of the lower chassis components. The July 2022 test at 114,316 miles flagged corrosion on the offside front suspension arm and the front sub-frame; although not deemed seriously weakened at the time, rust on these areas typically worsens over time. The buyer should also inspect the rear shock car, which showed oil misting in July 2024, and monitor the engine oil leak noted in 2022 to ensure it has not developed into a significant fault. Recurring advisories regarding tyre cracking across 2023 and 2024 indicate that the rubber components are deteriorating due to age, necessitating a check for sidewall perishing and tread depth.
