2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · YT66 XPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 103,058 miles, this followed a failure involving multiple safety-related items. The presence of a fractured nearside front coil spring, insufficient washer fluid, and incorrect headlamp alignment suggests that critical mechanical and lighting components were only addressed once they reached the point of legal failure, rather than being serviced during routine maintenance intervals. At approximately 103,000 miles, the car has averaged roughly 10,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a decade-old small hatchback. The records show a steady accumulation of mileage, with approximately 7,700 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 7,144 miles between October 2023 and 2024. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, though the higher mileage naturally accelerates the wear and tear on rubber components and suspension artwork. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking for further signs of fatigue in the coil springs and bushes, given the fractured spring noted in the latest test. The history also highlights recurring issues with tyre condition, with perishing noted in 2024 and uneven wear/edges in 2025, which may indicate an alignment problem or incorrect pressure that requires professional monitoring. Additionally, the headlamp adjustment and the artwork system should be verified to ensure they have been correctly rectified, as these were recent points of failure.
