2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · YA13 FUE

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend, moving from a history of multiple defects to a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The September 2024 test at 140,155 miles recorded no defects, which suggests that the previous issues with lighting, wiper blades, and tyres have been addressed. While the car has experienced various minor failures and advisories over the years, the current status indicates the vehicle is presently in a roadworthy condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,781 miles per year. The records show steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 50,023 in August 2016 to 140,155 in September 2024. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which is positive for preventing seal degradation or fuel system issues. The progression from 73,035 miles in 2018 to 119,033 miles in 2023 shows a stable driving pattern. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The record shows recurring issues with brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored, specifically noted in 2018 and 2022. Although the 2024 test was clean, the history of thin brake pads and pitted discs suggests these consumables may require attention soon. The tester also flagged a fractured offside front coil spring in 2018 and light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber in 2022. The history of windscreen damage and lighting failures indicates a pattern of minor neglect regarding small consumables and external fittings. While these are non-mechanical issues, they suggest the previous owner occasionally deferred basic upkeep. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the underside for corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes is advisable to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the high mileage.
