2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · AV11 PPK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100, but the MOT record indicates an inconsistent maintenance pattern that requires immediate attention. The most recent test on 2025-09-18 at 131,130 miles passed with a minor oil leak, whereas the previous test on 2024-09-05 at 125,216 miles failed due to severe corrosion of the rear exhaust box outer skin and rear shock absorber casings. This significant deterioration in 2024, which occurred just 3.5 years ago, suggests a lack of proactive upkeep and a failure to address structural integrity issues such as the corroded rear exhaust box. The mileage accumulation over the past two years indicates a rapid increase in consumption, likely driven by increased use or longer periods of inactivity. While the vehicle is approximately 15 years old and has roughly 8,742 miles per year, the test results show that consumption rates have not kept pace with the vehicle's age. The consistent failure in 2024, combined with the lack of recent maintenance, points to a trend of worsening mechanical condition rather than a stable, improving maintenance history. Given the recurring faults including corrosion of critical components like the rear exhaust box and the rear shock absorber, the vehicle presents significant risks to structural integrity and safety. A buyer must inspect the rear exhaust box and shock absorbers for corrosion and structural soundness, as well as check the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear. The oil leak noted in the most recent test is likely related to the exhaust box, which is not a standard component for oil consumption and requires immediate professional diagnosis. The vehicle is not roadworthy at 100 points due to the lack of recent maintenance and the worsening condition of the exhaust system.
