2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · AF12 HYM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-04 at 122,798 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the immediate prior test on 2025-07-02 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential administrative or procedural issues. The trend from 2023-06-26 (pass) and 2024-06-22 (pass) shows stability, but the back-to-back failures in 2023 and 2025 without recorded faults raises questions about consistency in testing outcomes. No major mechanical or structural issues were flagged in the record, but the lack of defect details limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,798 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 8,771 miles annually, which is typical for its age. The 2023-06-26 test at 95,943 miles and the 2024-06-22 test at 114,533 miles show a 18,590-mile increase over 12 months, reflecting moderate usage. However, the 2023-06-20 failure at 95,304 miles and the subsequent pass at 95,943 miles seven days later suggest possible data entry inconsistencies or rapid retesting. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess long-term wear trends in critical systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on this model. The absence of brake-related defects in the record does not preclude checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should be verified, as rust can develop in older vehicles. The lack of exhaust emission data in the MOT history also warrants a visual check of the exhaust system for leaks or damage. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires in-person evaluation to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
