2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FY68 AAZ

The 2018 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-12-13 at 30,447 miles. The vehicle has alternated between passing and failing tests without specific mechanical issues noted, suggesting either administrative errors or minor technicalities rather than structural concerns. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test implies compliance with safety standards, though the recurring fails without explanations warrant scrutiny. The low mileage of 30,447 miles over eight years—approximately 3,806 miles annually—indicates light usage, which may preserve components but also raises questions about potential idleness-related issues. The MOT history reveals a consistent annual testing pattern, with the 2024-12-14 test at 25,591 miles and 2023-12-19 test at 21,242 miles both passing without defects. However, the 2023-12-17 failure at 21,238 miles and subsequent pass two days later lack detailed reasoning, complicating trend analysis. The vehicle’s mileage growth from 21,242 to 30,447 miles over 18 months appears gradual, avoiding abrupt spikes that might signal excessive wear. This pattern aligns with low annual usage, though it does not confirm whether the car was driven regularly or stored for extended periods. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems during an in-person inspection, as these components are typically flagged in MOTs. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the records is reassuring, but low mileage may mask wear in fluids, belts, or electrical systems. The lack of detailed failure notes in the 2023 and 2025 tests means the buyer should request additional documentation or a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT history.
