2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · VO64 TVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a decline in suspension-related condition. While the most recent test in November 2022 at 64,618 miles passed, it followed a failure just two miles prior that revealed multiple mechanical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2021 to a series of failures in 2022 indicates that the vehicle is experiencing developing issues with its front-end geometry and damping. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a consistent gap of roughly 7,000 miles between the 2020 and 2021 tests, and another 11,000 miles between 2021 and 2022. While low mileage often suggests less engine and gearbox wear, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which may correlate with the fluid leaks noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The history flags a fractured coil spring and a serious shock absorber leak in 2021, followed by light misting on the same absorber in 2022. Additionally, the offside front track rod end was noted for a damaged dust cover, suggesting the' components should be checked for play or excessive movement to ensure they are not nearing a mechanical failure. Immediate attention should also be paid to the front tyres, as the nearside side was recorded as worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear in 2022, potentially indicating an alignment issue. The previous failure regarding the windscreen washers and an incorrect indicator colour suggests periods of basic maintenance neglect, which should be verified as fully rectified prior to purchase.
