2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · YY18 AAK

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 March 2026 at 61,338 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of reactive repairs in early 2024. While the previous year showed multiple mechanical failures, the subsequent clean tests indicate that the owner addressed the necessary faults to bring the car back to to standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,667 miles per year. Between March 2021 and March 2026, the car covered 44,403 miles, showing steady usage rather than long periods of neglect. The interval of 8,134 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests reflects a consistent annual run that suggests the vehicle is used regularly enough to prevent the rapid degradation of rubber-based components and braking seals. The failure on 11 March 2024 at 44,985 miles highlights a lapse in routine consumable inspections. The tester flagged dangerously thin front brake pads and pitted discs, alongside significant tyre issues including a cord-reaching cut on the nearside front and uneven wear on the offside front. While these were rectified for the March 2024 pass, a buyer should inspect the current front alignment to ensure the previous edge wear was not caused by a persistent suspension or steering geometry issue. There are no records of structural corrosion or recurring suspension faults, meaning the focus should remain on the remaining life of the braking system and the condition of the current tyre set.
