2016 VAUXHALL CORSA1.4L Petrol

The 2016 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 27 June 2025 at 81,820 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the full five-year span from June 2022 to June 2025. A failed test logged on 27 June 2025 at the same mileage and date as the pass is anomalous; with no defects recorded against the failure, this likely reflects an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,182 miles per year against the 81,820 miles recorded. The records show gentle accumulation: 77,453 miles on 1 June 2022, 78,475 on 29 June 2023, 80,226 on 26 June 2024, and 81,820 on 27 June 2025. The spread of roughly 1,000 to 1,400 miles between tests indicates light, consistent use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps that would raise drivetrain or seal-degradation concerns. The clean MOT trail gives no cause to suspect recurring suspension bushes, coil spring fracture, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody integrity and brake caliper operation, as the DVSA test captures only test-day condition and a car with this mileage may harbour latent wear not yet at advisory threshold. The duplicated 27 June 2025 entry warrants a V5C and DVSA portal check to confirm the failure was clerical and not a withheld defect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Corsa to a basic pass standard with no deferred consumables reaching the tester's attention. Given the absence of flagged tyre, wiper, or emission faults, routine pre-purchase checks on tread depth and exhaust integrity remain sensible rather than urgent.
