2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · AF10 OUD

The 2010 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 64,606 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern of faults across the available record. Recorded mileage stands at 64,606 against an approximate 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,038 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light, consistent use: 51,870 miles in January 2023, 56,994 at the January 2024 pass, 61,638 in February 2025, and 64,606 in January 2026. A failed test on 11 January 2024 at 56,876 miles preceded the pass seven days later at 56,994 miles, yet the failure listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unidentified non-mechanical rejection rather than component failure. The clean advisory history across all tests indicates previous owners kept basic consumables and structure in check. Low mileage and a clean MOT trail imply the car spent periods stationary, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber to develop unseen. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizing after long idle spells. Check beneath the sills and subframes for structural rust, and verify tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for age cracking despite adequate tread. Given the sparse but unbroken pass record, no recurring mechanical faults demand correction. The absence of advisories means the Corsa requires only standard pre-purchase checks: cold-start behaviour, gearbox smoothness, and confirmation that the January 2024 failure left no latent issue.
