2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · WV64 OSE

The vehicle presents a stable but reactive maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 17 April 2026 at 74,780 miles passing despite an identified oil leak. While the car has successfully cleared its last two inspections, the record shows a pattern of failing tests due to neglected consumable items and minor electrical faults. The presence of an oil leak in the 2026 test, which was also noted in December 2023, suggests a persistent issue that has not been fully rectified. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 44,901 miles in September 2020 to 74,780 miles in April 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing, though the frequency of failures in late 2023 and late 2024 indicates periods where basic maintenance, such as tyre replacement and bulb checks, was deferred until the MOT inspection. A prospective buyer should focus on the engine and drivetrain to address the recurring oil leak mentioned in both 2023 and 2026. The November 2023 failure was particularly significant, involving multiple electronic faults including the Engine MIL, stability control warning lamp, and TPMS light, alongside a damaged track rod end dust cover. Although these were resolved, the history of steering component wear suggests the suspension and steering linkage should be inspected for play or further deterioration. Brake wear also appears to be a recurring theme, with thin pads flagged in 2018 and 2023. The 2024 failure regarding tyres worn close to the legal limit further reinforces a trend of running consumables to their limit. Physical inspection of the brake discs, pads, and tyre tread depth is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not currently operating on marginal components.
