2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · CT05 CTT

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 2 December 2023 at 88,728 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the three most recent passes showing clean sheets. However, the record reveals a recurring administrative quirk: the car failed on 1 December 2023 and again on 3 December 2022 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, both times with no defects logged. This pattern points to documentation or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults, suggesting the previous owner addressed paperwork or retest logistics late in each cycle. The mileage sits low for a 2010 vehicle, totalling 88,728 miles or roughly 5,546 per year. The records show measured annual use: 70,971 miles in December 2021, 80,629 in December 2022, and 88,728 by December 2023. That is about 9,700 miles added in the last recorded year and under 8,000 in the prior, a gentle climb with no standing-still gaps. The sparse history across three years carries no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion, so the data alone implies light, uneventful use rather than deferred consumable care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Sixteen years of age invites structural rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounts even when testers logged nothing. The clean MOT sheets do not certify the condition of coil springs, brake discs, or calipers beyond the test day. Given the twin no-defect failures, verify the V5C and prior test refusal reasons with DVSA. The low mileage can mask perished rubber or fluid degradation from light running. A pre-purchase check of coolant, cambelt interval, and underbody integrity remains prudent before funds change hands.
