2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · YM15 AGO

This Vauxhall Corsa’s most recent MOT, conducted just two months ago on 16 May 2025, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The test history shows a consistent pattern of passing without fail, though the duplicate entries for both 2024 and 2023 tests—each with a failed attempt followed by a pass—suggest either administrative duplication or a brief delay in rectifying minor issues before retesting. No recurring advisories or major faults have been logged, indicating the vehicle has not faced persistent mechanical or structural concerns during its most recent MOT cycles. The recorded mileage of 89,411 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 8,128 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap in testing occurs between the 2023 and 2024 cycles, where the mileage jumped from 65,319 to 86,343—a significant increase of 21,024 miles in under a year. This suggests either a period of heavier use or a lapse in regular servicing, as such a mileage surge could accelerate wear on suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain fluids. The final stretch to 89,411 miles, however, shows a more moderate pace, aligning closer to the vehicle’s average annual mileage. Given the lack of recorded defects, the most prudent areas for a prospective buyer to scrutinise in person are the suspension geometry and condition of the bushes, particularly at the rear where binding calipers or uneven wear might develop without obvious MOT failings. The brake discs and pads should also be inspected for consistent thickness and absence of lateral grooving, as repeated high-mileage periods could stress these components beyond standard wear limits. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination for corrosion, as the Corsa’s bodywork is prone to rust progression over time. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions-related faults are often the first to appear in vehicles with irregular maintenance.
