2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · YP16 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 108,868 miles resulted in an initial failure due to incorrectly fitted front tyres and a damaged windscreen. While the car passed immediately after rectification, the record shows recurring failures related to brakes, suspension, and tyres, suggesting that the owner tends to only address mechanical issues once they reach the point of an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical annual-use vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a noticeable increase in usage between the 2019 test at 31,773 miles and the 2026 test at 108,868 miles. The jump of over 14,000 miles between February 2024 and February 2025 indicates consistent annual driving, which explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable components such as brake discs and suspension-related de-bolts and dust covers noted throughout the record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking and suspension systems given the history of de-lagging offside rear brakes and fluctuating rear discs recorded in 2024. The offside rear wheel bearing was flagged with slight play in 2025 and should be checked to ensure the condition has not worsened since then. Furthermore, the history of a fractured nearside front coil spring in 2023 and a damaged track rod end dust cover in 2025 indicates that the front suspension geometry is under stress and requires a thorough check for further perished rubber or worn metal components.
