2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · AJ59 LES

The 2010 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 July 2025 at 92,362 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 7 August 2024 at 85,436 miles. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year span, indicating consistent compliance with minimum test standards. The recorded mileage sits at 92,362 against a 16-year lifespan, an average of roughly 5,773 miles per year and low for the age. Gaps between tests are modest: the vehicle covered 10,089 miles between the May 2023 test at 75,673 miles and the August 2024 pass at 85,436 miles, then 6,926 miles to July 2025. A failed test on 6 August 2024 at 85,417 miles shows no defects logged, with a pass recorded the next day at 85,436 miles, suggesting an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a repair of noted wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and the risk of corrosion on structural members after 16 years. Low annual mileage often means longer standing periods, which accelerates perishing of rubber components and surface rust on sills and subframes not visible in a clean MOT record. The absence of advisories across the timeline implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test, yet the sparse entries leave drivetrain condition and hidden structural integrity unverified. Prior to purchase, confirm underbody rust levels and test the braking system for binding or imbalance not captured by the pass results.
