2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · CY12 AEO

The vehicle achieved a PASS on 2025‑07‑04 at 134,937 miles, confirming it meets current roadworthiness standards. The preceding test on 2025‑06‑26 had failed, yet the owner arranged a retest just eleven days later, which then succeeded. This rapid corrective cycle indicates a responsive maintenance pattern rather than a deteriorating trend, and the absence of recorded defects in the latest pass suggests the issue was isolated and resolved. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a fourteen‑year‑old car. Between May and June 2023 the odometer moved only 28 miles, then rose 6,160 miles by May 2024, followed by roughly 10,800 miles in the year to June 2025. The overall average of about 9,600 miles per year is consistent with normal wear. The tight clustering of the June and July 2025 tests highlights a focused effort to address a failure promptly, rather than a gradual decline in condition. Although the MOT logs show no detailed defect entries, the two failures in the record point to potential intermittent problems in critical systems. A buyer should inspect the brake assembly for pad wear, disc condition, and any binding calipers, as well as examine suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs for looseness or cracking. The underbody and sill areas merit scrutiny for corrosion or rust, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. An exhaust system check is also advisable to rule out hidden leakage or structural degradation.
