2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · CT04 ORP

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test. The August 2025 examination at 90,444 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same date showing no listed faults, which suggests an administrative retry rather than a mechanical defect. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with every recorded test either passing or failing without defects, indicating no worsening mechanical condition or unresolved advisories. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle. The record shows 88,773 miles in July 2023, rising to 89,366 miles by August 2024 and 90,444 miles by August 2025, an average of roughly 1,100 miles per year across this period. The sparse history with only three annual tests and no recorded advisories limits insight into consumable wear, though the low annual use implies light running rather than sustained motorway wear on drivetrain components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across the record does not confirm structural integrity, only that the tester logged nothing at the time. Given the car is fourteen years old, check subframe corrosion, brake caliper operation, and exhaust emissions in person. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in August 2024 and August 2025 with zero defects point to clerical or process issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, but the thin record means independent verification of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains prudent before purchase.
