2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · YY67 AXA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The test on 12 May 2026 at 42,208 miles resulted in a failure due to damaged track rod end ball joint dust covers and a deteriorated number plate. While the car passed the following day after repairs were made, the presence of a de novo failure for suspension-related items suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach a point of legal failure. The mileage profile is notably low and consistent for a nine-year-old Corsa, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 24,736 miles and May 2026 at 42,208 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 17,500 miles. This low usage rate often means less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it frequently leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The 2023 record confirms this, noting that rear tyres were cracking and perishing despite the low mileage. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the new track rod ends were fitted correctly and that no other rubber boots are splitting. The 2023 failure regarding pitted front brake discs and thin pads indicates that the braking system has been neglected during long intervals between tests. Given the history of perishing tyres and corroded components, also check for surface rust on the brake rotors and underbody, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to oxidation that can affect mechanical performance.
