2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DA16 CFE

The 2016 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 72,374 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 19 August 2024 at 69,297 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,237 miles per year. The history shows a sharp jump from 46,220 miles at the 28 May 2022 test to 63,764 miles by 26 May 2023, an annual gain of over 17,500 miles, before the rate fell back to near-typical between 2023 and 2024. A failed test on 10 August 2024 at 69,292 miles was followed nine days later by a pass at 69,297 miles with no defects listed, suggesting the initial failure was administrative or for a minor rectified item rather than a serious mechanical defect. The DVSA record flags no recurring suspension, brake, corrosion, or emissions problems across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items such as tyre tread depth, brake disc wear, and suspension bushes, since the MOT only captures condition at test dates. The clean advisory history implies previous owners kept the car to a reasonable standard, but the 2022 to 2023 high-mileage period warrants checking for accelerated drivetrain and clutch wear not visible in the MOT data.
