2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · YS15 NFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 11, 2025 at 75,195 miles, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive repair pattern rather than proactive care. The 2025 test failed due to significant suspension failures, specifically both track rod end dust covers and a fractured offside front coil spring. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurring nature of failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by the MOT test itself. At 11 years old, the recorded 75,195 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,836 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate domestic use. The data shows steady annual mileage, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,600 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids, which is evident in the recorded defects. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system, as the history shows persistent issues in these areas. The 2024 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, while the 2023 record noted uneven tyre wear and perished rear rubber. Given the fractured coil spring and damaged track rod covers in 2025, it is vital to check for signs of grease leaks from shock absorbers or excessive play in the steering that might indicate the repairs were superficial. The trend of tyres falling below legal limits in 2024 indicates that basic maintenance was neglected until the point of failure.
