2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · CY12 ACU

This 2012 Vauxhall Corsa presents a remarkably clean MOT record. The most recent test in January 2026 at 66,503 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests also show clean passes. The single failure in January 2023 at 55,782 miles carried no recorded defects, suggesting it was likely a clerical or administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is stable and well-maintained, with no recurring problems or advisories appearing across the history. The recorded mileage of 66,503 miles equates to roughly 4,750 miles per year, which is low for a 14-year-old vehicle. The annual increments are consistent: roughly 4,500 miles between 2023 and 2024, then 3,460 miles to 2025, and 1,186 miles to 2026. The slight drop in the last year may indicate a period of lighter use, but the overall pattern shows regular annual testing without large gaps or sudden jumps. There is no evidence of clocking or inconsistent readings. Given the absence of any flagged defects or advisories in the MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Pay close attention to the suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on this model. Brake discs and pads should be checked for condition and binding, as low-mileage use can lead to corrosion on discs. Also inspect the underside for any structural corrosion, especially around the sills and subframe mounts, as these areas are prone to rust on the Corsa. A full service history would be prudent, as the clean MOT record alone does not guarantee that routine maintenance like oil changes and coolant flushes were performed on schedule.
