2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · VU66 AEK

The 2016 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 September 2025 at 79,901 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure at 79,900 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three years the vehicle passed cleanly, showing no advisories or worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,990 per year against a ten-year life, a typical figure for this age of supermini. The records show steady accumulation: 68,030 miles in August 2022, 72,747 by September 2023, 76,141 in September 2024, and 79,901 by September 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with every recorded test either passing or the anomalous same-day fail carrying no defect entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise confirm prior attention. The clean record offers no evidence of structural corrosion or binding calipers, yet ten years of use can conceal worn components the MOT tester did not flag under current thresholds. Verify the 5 September 2025 failure reason with DVSA, as a no-defect fail often points to a documentation or identification issue rather than wear. Otherwise the Corsa's history implies consistent, if minimal, upkeep by previous keepers who avoided consumable neglect severe enough to trigger advisories.
