2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · WU65 YTY

A generally stable roadworthiness record defines this vehicle, culminating in a clean pass on 7 November 2025. While the majority of the testing history shows no defects, the record is punctuated by a failure in November 2021 and specific suspension advisories in early 2025. The overall trend indicates a vehicle that consistently meets the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness, with only occasional issues arising. The recorded mileage of 80,126 miles over an eleven year period reflects a typical usage pattern of approximately 7,284 miles per year. This consistent annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has avoided the risks associated with both excessive high-mileage wear on the drivetrain and the degradation often found in vehicles that have stood idle for long periods. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while the engine and gearbox have seen moderate use, rubber components and suspension linkages are entering a phase of expected age-related wear. Specific attention is required regarding the front suspension, as the upper Macpherson strut pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside were flagged as worn in January 2025. Although the subsequent November 2025 test recorded no defects, these components often degrade progressively. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking noises when traversing speed bumps or uneven surfaces, and feel for any instability or lack of precision in the steering response. The 2021 failure involving an inoperative engine management light and a tyre cut to the ply requires verification. Confirm that the engine management light functions correctly by ensuring it illuminates upon turning the ignition to the on position and extinguishes once the engine starts. Additionally, a physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure there are no deep cuts or structural bulges similar to the defect that caused the previous failure.
