2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · WN66 CVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance in recent years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 87,598 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following two years of clean results in 2023 and 2024. This suggests that the mechanical issues identified earlier in its life have been addressed and the car is currently being maintained to a sound operational standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,760 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of nearly 20,000 miles between September 2021 (56,022 miles) and August 2022 (75,472 miles), which indicates a period of higher-than-average usage, though usage has since slowed significantly to roughly 1,000 to 1,500 miles per year. This lower mileage reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear on drivetrain components compared to high-mile commuting. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and braking system given the history of failures. The 2020 test flagged both front shock absorber top mounts for excessive play and wear, while the 2021 record identified pitted and scored front brake discs. While these were rectified, a physical inspection should verify there is no remaining play in the strut assemblies or uneven wear on the current discs. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a worn nearside rear tyre suggests a past alignment issue or basic maintenance neglect, which should be checked against the current tyre wear patterns.
