2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · 169 ECH

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 82,393 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. The two failure entries on 3 March 2026 and 29 August 2024 at identical mileages to the passes on the same dates suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, since no defects were recorded on either failure. At roughly 12 years old the car shows 82,393 miles, an average of about 6,866 miles per year, which is typical for the age and points to light-to-moderate use. The record jumps from 68,111 miles on 29 August 2024 to 71,393 miles by 12 March 2025, then to 82,393 miles by March 2026, giving around 11,000 miles in the final year. That is a mild rise above the long-term average but no cause for concern on consumables. The clean test sheets across four years mean we have no flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust issues to track. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. The absence of advisories does not rule out early coil spring fatigue, tired suspension bushes, or surface structural rust beneath sills and subframes that testers did not escalate. Verify the brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as these wear silently between tests. Given the twin failure-with-no-defect entries, confirm with the seller or DVSA why the car was failed then passed on the same day twice. If purely clerical, the history is sound. If a rejected retest followed a withdrawn attempt, inspect the vehicle cold before purchase to be certain no latent fault was masked.
