2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · WN68 OOD

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test in October 2025 at 22,176 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have likely been addressed or have not progressed into failures. This represents a significant shift from the recurring advisories seen in the preceding years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,772 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between the October 2022 and November 2023 tests, where the car covered only 2,317 miles in over thirteen months. While this low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of standing correlate directly with the degradation of rubber-based parts, which is clearly evident in the historical data. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and braking system, as the record shows a history of age-related decay. The November 2023 test at 12,601 miles flagged all four tyres for cracking and perishing, a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles sitting stationary for extended periods. Similarly, the front brake discs showed pitting and corrosion in both 2023 and 2024. While the 2025 test passed without defects, the inspector should verify that the brake surfaces are now smooth and check the sidewalls of the tyres for new signs of dry cracking despite the low tread depth.
