2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DY12 AEG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of successful MOT passes. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 124,901 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just two miles earlier on the same day. This suggests a minor adjustment or a rectified fault was addressed immediately before the retest. The lack of recorded advisories across the 2024 and 2023 tests indicates the car is currently in good mechanical condition regarding primary safety equipment. At 14 years old, the recorded 124,901 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 8,922 miles. This aligns closely with typical figures for a small hatchback of this age. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with 6,467 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 4,767 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not subject to long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or accelerated corrosion. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of age-related components that do not always trigger a test failure. Focus on the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches, where corrosion is common on Corsas of this era. Given the mileage, check the rubber bushings in the suspension for cracking or tearing and inspect the shock absorbers for leaks. The absence of recorded advisories implies the previous owners have maintained the vehicle proactively before components reached a point of failure.
