2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · BT60 AAU

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a historically stable maintenance record, with the most recent MOT on 7 November 2023 at 152,382 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the available five-year history the vehicle shows no advisory or failure items of mechanical significance, indicating consistent upkeep. The solitary anomaly occurred on 9 November 2021 when a test failed and then passed on the same day at 132,146 miles with no defects logged, pointing to an administrative irregularity rather than a fault. Given the test is now over two and a half years old relative to July 2026, current roadworthiness remains unverified by MOT data alone. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a sixteen-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 115,213 miles at the 30 October 2020 test to 132,146 by 9 November 2021, then 143,537 on 4 November 2022 and 152,382 on 7 November 2023. Annual accumulation slowed from roughly 16,900 miles to about 8,800 miles in the final year, suggesting lighter recent use. The testing cadence is annual with no gaps, and the sparse clean record implies the previous owner maintained basic statutory compliance though no deeper insight into consumable replacement exists. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components never flagged in the MOT. At 152,000 miles the Corsa will likely exhibit wear in suspension bushes, coil springs and damper mounts, while brake discs and calipers may suffer from corrosion if the car has stood unused since its last test. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checks for rust, as Vauxhall bodies of this era are prone to perforation. Exhaust emissions and tyre condition should be verified despite absence of advisories. The same-day fail without recorded defects in 2021 merits a check of the V5C and DVSA records to confirm no hidden mileage discrepancy or cloned identity. Overall the documentary history supports a mechanically sound example, but the elapsed time since testing demands a fresh roadworthiness assessment before purchase.
