2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · WM64 FKS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive ownership. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 92,786 miles passed, the car failed two previous tests with identical defects that were only rectified beforehand. The trend shows a recurring cycle where the owner only addresses the minimum requirements to pass the MOT certificate, evidenced by the repeated failures for insufficient washer fluid and registration plate lamp issues across two consecutive years. At 92,786 miles, this 12-year-old Corsa has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small city car. The data shows a consistent usage pattern between the June 2023 test at 90,910 miles and the July 2024 test at 92,066 miles, followed by another 720 miles before the June 2025 inspection. This low mileage suggests light use, but the age of the vehicle increases the vulnerability of rubber components regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must pay close attention to the engine bay regarding the non-excessive oil leak that has been present since July 2024. While the tester did not deem it a failure, persistent leaks over several years indicate aging gaskets or seals that will eventually worsen. Furthermore, the recurring advisory for cracking or perishing on rear tyres noted in both 2024 and 2025 indicates that the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread depth. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is essential to ensure they have not reached a point of structural instability.
