AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2024‑08‑23 MOT at 188,885 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the Vauxhall Corsa remains roadworthy at the time of testing and that the maintenance record shows no evidence of worsening faults. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 153,399 miles in August 2022 to 188,885 miles in August 2024, an average of roughly 8,995 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 21‑year‑old car. The interval between the August 2022 and August 2023 tests saw a marked acceleration to 14,637 miles in just over eleven months, suggesting a period of more intensive use, while the subsequent year‑long gap to the latest test reflects a relatively stable pattern. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that have shown recurring wear in similar Corsa models: inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or excessive play, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs are free of scoring, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for any signs of structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. Given the clean defect record and consistent mileage trend, the car appears to have been maintained without major mechanical neglect, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the items listed above remains essential before purchase.
