2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · WP64 XHB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address recurring mechanical defects. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 56,740 miles passed, it carried over a previously noted offside front upper Macpherson' pin bush wear and a front oil leak. These issues have been flagged across the last three inspection cycles, indicating that the owner is opting for minimum repairs to pass the test rather than replacing the failing components. At approximately 11 years old, the recorded 56,740 milesising an average of just 5,158 miles per year. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has seen light use, but it also explains the degradation of rubber-based components. The data shows a consistent interval of roughly 3,000 to 3,400 miles between annual tests, which is insufficient to prevent age-related wear seen in the 2023 record where rear tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing despite low mileage. A buyer must inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the ongoing front oil leak, which has been present since at least September 2023. Although the tester noted the leak was not excessive, its persistence over two years suggests a weeping seal or gasket that will eventually worsen. The offside front Macpherson artwork also requires a physical check for play, as the worn bush was noted multiple times and will eventually lead to' instability or suspension knock if left untreated. The braking system requires attention as the front discs were noted as worn during the 2023 test at 50,923 miles with no evidence of replacement. Furthermore, the history of non-functional stop lamps in both 2023 and 2024 indicates a lack of basic pre-test checks. Any prospective purchaser should verify the condition of the tyres for sidewalling cracks, as the low-mileage history often leads to rubber rot before the tread is fully utilised.
