2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · YJ66 TMW

The vehicle is currently in a declining state of maintenance. While it passed its most recent test on 15 November 2025 at 83,320 miles, the tester flagged several significant advisories. Both front coil springs are corroded, and the front braking system is nearing the end of its service life with worn discs and thin pads. This marks a shift from the clean record seen in previous years, suggesting a lapse in preventative maintenance as the car ages. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,258 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between November 2023 and November 2024, where the odometer rose from 64,337 to 72,563 miles. Earlier records show a period of very light use between October 2020 and October 2021, with only 1,000 miles added in a full year. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The corrosion on both front coil springs is a primary concern as it can lead to sudden component failure. The worn brake discs and thin pads identified in the November 2025 test require immediate replacement to ensure safe stopping distances. Past failures indicate a pattern of neglecting basic consumables. The November 2024 failure for a cut tyre and damaged track rod end dust covers suggests the owner only addressed faults when they became MOT failures. Given the current advisories, the vehicle likely requires a full front-end service, including new springs, discs, pads, and a thorough check for further underside corrosion.
