2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DY12 AEB

The 2012 Vauxhall Corsa exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT on 2026-02-13 at 107,944 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on the same date and mileage also showed a fail with no defects, suggesting potential administrative or procedural anomalies rather than mechanical issues. The preceding 2025-01-09 test at 100,811 miles passed without defects, and the 2024-01-12 test at 92,368 miles similarly passed. No recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns are documented in the record, indicating consistent compliance with safety standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,944 miles over 14 years aligns with an average annual usage of 7,710 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2024-01-12 test at 92,368 miles to 2025-01-09 at 100,811 miles represents a 8,443-mile increase over 12 months, consistent with steady usage. No evidence of excessive wear on consumables or mechanical components is present in the record, though the absence of defect entries limits insight into potential underlying issues. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection to verify the absence of undetected faults, particularly in suspension components, brake systems, and corrosion-prone areas. While the MOT record shows no defects, the car’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of coil springs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions. Checking for brake disc warping, caliper binding, and tyre tread depth would confirm the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness. The lack of historical issues is reassuring, but a hands-on assessment remains critical to validate the MOT data.
