2013 VAUXHALL CORSA ENERGY AC1.2L Petrol

The Vauxhall Corsa passed its most recent MOT on 6 September 2025 at 20,117 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable and clean roadworthiness trend across the latest cycle. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults, and the vehicle has cleared every test since the single failure in September 2023 without further issues. The recorded mileage reflects extremely low use for a 2013 registration. From the 24 September 2022 test at 19,332 miles to the 5 October 2024 test at 19,866 miles, the car covered only 534 miles across two years. The 25 September 2023 failure at 19,567 miles was followed four days later by a pass at 19,584 miles, indicating the defect was rectified promptly rather than neglected. Such limited annual accumulation, roughly 1,547 miles per year, suggests prolonged standing periods rather than active daily driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage vehicles left idle often develop perished rubber components and binding brakes through disuse. The 2023 failure with no defects listed points to an administrative or emissions-related rejection rather than a hard mechanical fault, but the DVSA record offers no detail on the root cause. Given the absence of corrosion, exhaust, or structural advisories across all five entries, the Corsa presents as a low-wear example. Prospective owners should verify underbody condition and tyre sidewall cracking, since 13 years of age with minimal movement accelerates rubber degradation more than mechanical fatigue.
