2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · CX14 XAM

The 2014 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 78,941 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from May 2022 to May 2024 also passed clean. The single failure on 25 May 2023 at 67,902 miles is anomalous: the retest later that same day at 67,903 miles passed with no defects noted, which points to an administrative or minor pre-check correction rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 6,578 against the vehicle's twelve-year life, a typical figure for this age of supermini. The records show steady accumulation: 61,066 miles in May 2022, 67,903 by May 2023, 74,633 in May 2024, and 78,941 in May 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across all tests indicates the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and avoided presenting the car with outstanding advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The lack of corrosion or structural integrity notes in the MOT history is reassuring, but DVSA tests do not strip components. Verify underbody condition and exhaust emissions at point of sale. Given the clean record and low yearly use, this Corsa shows no recurring fault pattern requiring concern. The May 2023 same-day fail-and-pass suggests clerical handling, not deferred maintenance. Treat the vehicle as a low-risk used purchase pending a routine pre-sale check.
