2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · YR14 MMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 81,145 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just 11 miles prior. That failure identified critical safety issues, including a fractured offside front coil spring, severely worn nearside front brake discs, and dangerously thin nearside front brake pads. This trend suggests the owner only addresses components when they reach the point of mechanical failure rather than performing scheduled maintenance between tests. The mileage profile is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 14,000 miles between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, followed by another 8,255 miles covered between late 2024 and May 2026. The relatively low annual mileage suggests light use, but the age of the car has not prevented the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the recurring failures related to tyres and structural integrity across the records. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely for signs of further wear, as the fractured coil spring indicates potential stress on the shock absorbers and bushings. The braking system requires a thorough check to ensure the recent replacement of discs and pads was executed correctly and that the remaining components are not suffering from uneven wear or binding calipers. Given the history of tyre perishing and structural tears in both 2023 and 2026, the condition of all four tyres should be verified for sidew cracking and uneven wear, which appear to be recurring weaknesses for this specific vehicle.
