AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Vauxhall Corsa is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 3 April 2026 at 83,237 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass on 3 April 2025, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of repair over the last two years. The mileage is notably low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,946 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 73,213 miles and the April 2026 test at 83,237 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,000 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of neglect or sudden heavy commercial use. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no recorded advisories or defects across multiple years. While the record indicates two failures on the same day as the passes in March 2024 and April 2026, the lack of specified defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly on site. No recurring mechanical failures regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Given the low mileage and age, check for perished rubber seals, tyre cracking due to age rather than wear, and potential corrosion on the chassis or sills. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred regularly regardless of the low annual mileage to prevent internal engine sludge.
