2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · CX62 BFV

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 101,061 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from May 2022 to May 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure logged on 12 May 2023 at 83,327 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle immediately passing on the same day under identical mileage. Annual mileage averages around 7,219 across the car's fourteen-year life, which is typical for a 2012 supermini. The records show steady annual use: 72,531 miles in May 2022, 83,327 in May 2023, 93,013 in May 2024, and 101,061 in May 2025. The roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles added each year points to consistent private use rather than prolonged standing or harsh high-mileage cycling. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear in the data. Given the clean MOT history with no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the previous keeper clearly kept the car to test standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items the MOT does not deeply assess. Check for perished rubber components, weeping dampers, and subframe rust on a 2012 shell, as the tester only logs visible fail items. Verify service history independently since the MOT proves statutory compliance but not routine oil changes or cambelt intervals. The clean record implies disciplined ownership, yet fourteen years will have aged consumables the tests never flagged. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible on any car of this vintage.
