AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 March 2025 at 94,955 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the test with no defects logged, and prior passes in March 2024 at 93,129 miles and April 2023 at 90,217 miles also recorded clean results. The owner has maintained a consistent annual test cycle with no advisories raised on structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. The recorded mileage of 94,955 against an 18-year-old vehicle equates to roughly 5,275 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests either light domestic use or extended periods of storage. Annual accumulation has been modest, with only 1,826 miles added between the March 2023 and March 2024 tests and 1,826 miles again to the March 2025 pass. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing no corrosion, binding calipers, or worn consumables flagged at any stage. Two failed tests appear in the record, both on 31 March 2023 at 90,172 miles and 14 March 2025 at 94,954 miles, yet neither logged any defects and each was immediately followed by a pass on the same day at marginally higher mileage. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation failures at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, not a sign of skipped upkeep or recurring wear issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake caliper operation given the car's age and likely intermittent use. Low mileage standing time can conceal perished rubber mounts or surface rust not captured in a clean MOT. Verify service history and check tyre sidewall condition, as the record offers no evidence either way on consumable replacement.
