2011 Vauxhall Corsavan 1.2L Diesel · WP11 CXG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. While the most recent test in June 2022 at 134,062 miles passed without advisories, the record shows the front tyres were worn to the legal limit. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed issues once they reached a failure point or MOT threshold, rather than replacing consumables during scheduled service intervals. At 134,062 miles over a 15-year span, the vehicle averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial usage for this age. However, there is a significant gap in the data, with the last recorded MOT occurring in June 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has operated without a recorded test test for four years. This lack of recent data is a major red flag, as it masks the current state of structural integrity and mechanical components since the last DVSA inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering system, as this component showed a clear trend of degradation. Records from February 2021 show a major failure due to excessive free play in the steering rack, which persisted as an advisory for slight free play into June 2021. This indicates the rack or its internal bearings are nearing the end of their functional life. The buyer should also check the front brake discs for corrosion, as pitting and scoring were noted in 2021. The history also highlights a pattern of poor tyre management, with multiple entries for low tread depth and perished rubber across 2021 and 2022. Because the vehicle has not been tested in four years, the current condition of the four tyres, brake lines, and suspension bushings is unknown. Given the age and mileage of the van, a close inspection for structural rust on the chassis and suspension mounting points is essential, as these areas are prone to failure on this model after long exposure.
