2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · BD11 UAY

The vehicle currently registers as roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 16 June 2025 at 124,230 miles. The pass was issued despite advisory items – an off‑side registration‑plate lamp inoperative and a non‑excessive oil leak – which were also recorded as failures earlier on the same day. The pattern shows recurring lighting faults and a persistent oil‑seal leak, but no new major mechanical or structural defects have emerged, indicating a largely stable maintenance trend with minor unresolved issues. Across fifteen years the car has accumulated 124,230 miles, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year. The MOT log records mileage of 107,371 miles in June 2023, rising to 115,428 miles by June 2024 and reaching the current 124,230 miles in June 2025. The incremental growth is consistent and shows no abrupt spikes that would suggest periods of intensive use or neglect. The record is otherwise clean, with no large gaps between tests, implying regular annual testing and reasonable driver mileage. A prospective buyer should verify that the off‑side registration‑plate lamp, reversing lamp and front position lamp have been repaired, as these items failed repeatedly in 2024 and 2025. The oil leak noted in every test, originally identified as a near‑side gearbox oil seal issue in 2023, warrants a visual inspection of the seal and surrounding sump for signs of ongoing seepage. The 2024 failure citing a fractured off‑side front coil spring suggests that the suspension was serviced; the buyer should confirm the replacement is sound and check the near‑side and rear coil springs for the corrosion previously recorded. Front tyre wear was close to the legal limit in 2024, so tyre condition and tread depth should be examined. Finally, the front sub‑frame corrosion noted in 2024, though not deemed structurally weakening, merits a careful look for any progression. Addressing these points will clarify whether the minor advisories have been fully remedied and ensure confidence in the car’s continued roadworthiness.
