VAUXHALL CORSA2011 · 1.2L Petrol

The Vauxhall Corsa currently holds a failed MOT status from the 4 December 2025 test at 143,973 miles, leaving it unroadworthy until the recorded defect is rectified. Prior to that, the history shows a stable pattern of passes in 2022, 2023 and 2024 with no advisories logged, though the May 2023 entry shows both a fail and pass on the same day at 133,164 miles with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The trend was sound until the most recent failure, which now demands resolution before any sale proceeds. Annual mileage averages around 9,600 miles against the car's 2011 build, a typical figure for a 15-year-old vehicle. The records span 128,250 miles in March 2022 to 139,239 miles in June 2024, then 143,973 miles by December 2025, showing consistent rather than aggressive use with no standing periods implied. The DVSA data itself is sparse, carrying no advisories or defect descriptions across the five entries, which limits deeper wear analysis but indicates no previously flagged consumable or structural concerns. The December 2025 failure at 143,973 miles carries no listed defect, so a buyer must obtain the failure reason from DVSA before viewing. Given the age and mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs and brake disc wear should be physically inspected for fatigue not captured in the clean history. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes remains a known Corsa risk at this age and must be checked despite the absence of recorded advisories. Without the specific failure item, assume nothing about roadworthiness. Commission an independent inspection focusing on braking balance, exhaust emissions and chassis integrity before purchase, as the record alone cannot confirm the car's present mechanical condition.
