2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · CY12 AAN

The vehicle presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded across all tests, including the most recent pass on 5 November 2025 at 109,064 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by testers over the past three years. This suggests consistent upkeep, though the single failure on 22 November 2023 at 103,159 miles, listed with no defects, is anomalous and may reflect an administrative error or a minor issue rectified before retest. The annual mileage has declined from roughly 7,736 miles between November 2022 and November 2023 to approximately 3,789 miles in the following year, and then to about 2,116 miles in the most recent period. This pattern indicates lighter recent use, which can reduce wear on consumables but may also lead to issues from standing, such as brake binding or tyre flat-spotting. The overall average of 7,790 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, aligning with normal usage patterns. Despite the clean history, a 14-year-old Corsa with over 109,000 miles demands careful pre-purchase inspection. Focus on suspension components, particularly front and rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points at this mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for binding or excessive corrosion, and the exhaust system for rust. The absence of structural corrosion advisories is positive, but a thorough check of sills and wheel arches is prudent. The failure in 2023, though unexplained, does not detract from an otherwise unblemished record.
