2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · EN61 ABZ

The 2026‑01‑13 MOT at 40,732 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the Vauxhall Corsa remains roadworthy as of today. The series of annual tests from 2015 to 2026 shows a stable maintenance record, with no recurring failures after the 2022 near‑side stop lamp defect was rectified. At roughly 2,900 miles per year the vehicle’s mileage is low for a 14‑year‑old model, suggesting limited use or extended periods of inactivity; the mileage has risen steadily but not rapidly, with the jump from 36,416 miles in 2024 to 40,732 miles in 2026 representing an increase of just over 4,300 miles in two years. Recurring advisories on the near‑side rear brake binding (2017), the driver’s view obstruction (2020, 2023), and tyre perishing (2019‑2020) indicate that suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may have experienced wear, while the repeated rear‑lamp failure points to possible corrosion on the rear bodywork or wiring loom. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear suspension components, verify the integrity of the brake discs and pads, check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and examine the chassis for rust or structural damage, especially around the near‑side rear and the area affected by the 2023 door impact.
