2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · YN14 CUO

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of recurring mechanical neglect and deferred maintenance. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 107,919 miles passed, it revealed multiple unresolved issues from the previous year, including a defective lower gearbox mounting and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. These specific faults were also flagged during the 2025 test, indicating that the owner is performing only the minimum repairs required to pass the test rather than addressing the underlying mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between February 2024 at 103,704 miles and June 2025 at 107,773 miles, where only 4,000 miles were covered over over sixteen months. This period of lower use coincides with a major failure in June 2025 where the car suffered a fractured coil spring and multiple lighting component failures, suggesting the vehicle may have sat while components reached a critical point of failure. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension assembly thoroughly, as the gearbox mounting and suspension arm bushes have appeared as persistent defects across multiple consecutive years. The record also notes ongoing underbody corrosion, which requires a close check of the chassis for structural integrity to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond surface-level. Given the history of thin brake pads and worn discs noted in 2025, the current state of the braking system should be verified to ensure they have been properly replaced since that failure.
