2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · UU02 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its MOT on 23 July 2025 at 53,710 miles, it had failed just two days prior at 53,709 miles due to significant mechanical defects. The failure of both the nearside and offside front coil springs suggests that components reached the end of their service life simultaneously, indicating the owner only addressed necessary repairs after a test failure. The mileage profile remains low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Data from 2022 to 2024 shows consistent usage patterns with increments of roughly 3,500 to 4,600 miles per annum. However, the gap between the August 2024 and July 2025 tests shows only 3,202 miles driven, which combined with the low annual average, often leads to the perishing of rubber components and tyres that suffer from age-related dry cracking rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely to ensure the replacement coil springs have not caused secondary alignment issues. The 2025 test also flagged the nearside front tyre as worn on the edge and the nearside rear tyre as perishing, which suggests the owner ignores basic consumable upkeep until forced by. Given the low mileage, a physical check for corrosion on brake discs and calipers is essential, as these components often degrade when vehicles sit stationary for long periods between uses.
