2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · CV61 YSK

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA examination. The March 2026 test at 168,854 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five entries from February 2023 to March 2026 the vehicle cleared every valid test without advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no worsening or recurring defects. Mileage stands at 168,854 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 12,061 miles per year and placing this car above typical use for its class. The records show steady annual accumulation: 149,174 miles in February 2023, 152,642 in February 2024, 158,086 in March 2025, and 168,854 by March 2026. The 10,768-mile jump between March 2025 and March 2026 exceeds the prior yearly increments of around 3,000 to 5,500, suggesting heavier recent commuting or delivery-type use. No gaps appear in the testing sequence. The clean advisory history means the MOT data itself flags no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components requiring attention. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the exhaust system, subframe, and coil springs given the age and elevated mileage, as the tester may not have raised minor corrosion within pass limits. The duplicated March 2026 entry with a faultless failure warrants a check of the DVSA portal to confirm no withdrawn certificate or mistaken submission affects provenance. Previous keepers clearly kept the car to a test-pass standard across four years, but absence of advisories does not confirm consumables such as tyres or brake discs were replaced proactively. At 14 years and 168,854 miles, budget for imminent wear-item renewal regardless of the spotless record.
