2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · WJ63 DMU

The 2025‑09‑04 MOT record shows the Vauxhall Corsa failed on the offside headlamp, rendering it non‑road‑legal at the time of testing, despite a concurrent pass on the same day. Repeated advisories on suspension bushes, brake wear and tyre condition since 2017 indicate a deteriorating maintenance pattern rather than stability. Mileage has risen steadily from 32,337 miles in September 2016 to 98,264 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 13‑year age and suggests consistent use without long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the upper Macpherson strut pins and bushes for excessive play, inspect the track rod ends and ball joints for dust‑cover damage, verify brake pad thickness and disc condition, measure tyre tread depth, and test all headlamp and stop‑lamp functions. If any of these components show wear beyond the recorded advisories, the cost of replacement could be significant, and the vehicle’s roadworthiness will remain compromised until the faults are rectified.
