2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · CA61 AEC

The most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 142,061 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The pattern of occasional failures – notably on 20 June 2024 at 137,592 miles and the dual result on 16 November 2022 at 133,382 miles – did not produce any recorded advisories, suggesting the issues were resolved promptly and the overall maintenance trend remains stable. Mileage has risen from 133,382 miles in November 2022 to 142,061 miles in August 2025, an increase of roughly 8,700 miles over 2 ¾ years, equating to about 3,150 miles per year. This aligns with the average of 9,471 miles per year calculated for a 15‑year‑old car and shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The record is otherwise sparse, with no further entries between 2022 and 2024, but the modest progression supports a consistent usage pattern. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the suspension system – inspect the condition of the bushings and coil springs for wear or corrosion – and verify the state of the brake discs and pads, as the unexplained failures may have involved hidden brake wear. Tyre tread depth, wheel alignment, and any signs of structural rust around wheel arches and chassis joints also merit close examination. Confirm that any remedial work following the 2022 and 2024 failures was documented and that the vehicle’s exhaust emissions are within legal limits. Overall, the MOT history presents a vehicle that has met the legal standards at each recent test, with no persistent defects noted. A thorough visual and functional check of the aforementioned components will provide confidence that the car’s mechanical condition matches the clean MOT record.
