2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · NA14 ABK

This vehicle is currently roadworthy on paper. The most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 99,867 miles resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories or defects. The maintenance trend is stable, as the previous annual test of 5 December 2024 at 92,333 miles also passed cleanly. That said, the history contains a curious anomaly: a failure on 21 November 2024 at 92,328 miles listed no defects, which suggests the car may have been taken off the test early or the operator cancelled the check. The November 2023 test likewise failed then immediately passed at the same mileage, indicating a re-test rather than a persistent mechanical problem. The recorded mileage is entirely consistent with typical use for a twelve-year-old Corsa. The car covered roughly 14,000 miles between November 2023 and December 2024, then approximately 7,500 miles in the following year. That averages out to around 8,300 miles annually, which is a normal rate for a vehicle with four-digit monthly driving. The pattern shows steady, real-world use rather than periods of long storage or unusually heavy commuting. With no structural corrosion, suspension faults, or brake defects appearing anywhere in the MOT record, there are no recurring mechanical red flags to chase. However, buyers should still conduct a physical inspection of common Corsa weak points: lower suspension arms, front coil springs, and rear axle mountings. Brake discs and calipers deserve attention for lipping and binding, while the underside sills and subframes should be probed for surface rust, as these issues often develop between tests. The clean tyre history indicates basic upkeep was not skipped, but at nearly 100,000 miles, the condition of the drivetrain, clutch, and timing chain tensioners is unknown from the MOT data alone and warrants a professional pre-purchase inspection.
