VAUXHALL CORSA GRIFFIN2018 · 1.4L Other

The Vauxhall Corsa Griffin presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 February 2025 at 81,425 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The February 2025 pass came just six days after a failure on 4 February 2025 at 81,409 miles, though the DVSA record lists no defects for either event. This pattern repeats the prior year, where a pass on 4 February 2024 at 76,539 miles followed a failure on 1 February 2024 at 76,515 miles, again with no defects logged. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass pairs with empty defect fields suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. The mileage stands at 81,425 against an eight-year lifespan, averaging roughly 10,178 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 20 November 2022 test at 60,115 miles and the February 2024 test at 76,515 miles shows about 16,400 miles added in fifteen months, a normal use rate. From February 2024 to February 2025 the car covered only 4,886 miles, indicating lighter recent use. The record is sparse and clean beyond the two anomaly failures, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear despite the absent advisories. The recurring same-week failures without recorded defects warrant verification that no latent brake disc wear, binding calipers, or coil spring fatigue was overlooked by the testing regime. Check underside for corrosion and examine suspension mounts given the car's age. Confirm the February 2025 failure was genuinely non-mechanical before purchase, as the missing defect data leaves that window unverified.
