2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · WG17 DWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2026 at 45,368 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in proactive consumable management. While the car passed the latest test, the previous two annual tests flagged recurring issues with front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear, suggesting the owner is waiting until components are near failure point before replacing them rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a distinct gap in usage between April 2023 and June 2024, where the car covered only 675 miles in over fourteen months. Since that period, usage has increased significantly, covering 15,715 miles in just two years. This low-mileage history generally implies less strain on the engine and drivetrain, but the intermittent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for too long between tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the fractured offside front coil spring that caused a failure in 2024 indicates a previous vulnerability in that area. The recurring edge wear on the front tyres noted in both 2025 and 2026 strongly suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional check to prevent further premature tyre degradation. Given the low mileage and periods of standing use, also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which are common on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
