2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · WL16 FDK

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, which has avoided any MOT failures across seven recorded tests. While a series of minor wear-and-tear advisories appeared between 2021 and 2023, the trend has shifted toward a clean bill of health, as evidenced by the latest pass on 5 May 2026 and the preceding test in April 2025, both of which recorded no defects. The recorded mileage of 87,524 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,752 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive long-distance commuting. Mechanically, this level of usage typically results in a predictable wear cycle for consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushings, without the extreme degradation associated with high-mileage fleet use. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, specifically the front discs which were flagged as worn in August 2023. Although the most recent tests are clean, it is important to verify if these discs were replaced or if they are nearing the end of their service life. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or pulsation under braking and listen for grinding noises that would indicate the discs have thinned beyond acceptable limits. The history also shows a pattern of tyre wear and perishing on both front and rear axles between 2021 and 2022. A physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls for cracking or uneven edge wear is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from alignment issues or aged rubber. Additionally, ensure the nearside front main beam bulb holder, previously noted as broken, is now secure and functioning correctly to avoid future electrical faults.
