2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DA61 NBK

The Vauxhall Corsa currently holds a failed MOT status from the 28 October 2025 test at 90,586 miles, with no defects formally recorded against that failure. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly at 82,902 miles on 15 November 2024 and at 76,331 miles on 10 November 2023, though it failed on the same date in 2023 before an immediate pass at identical mileage. The maintenance trend shows a clean four-year run from 2022 to 2024 that broke down at the most recent examination, leaving roadworthiness unconfirmed until the recorded failure cause is investigated and cleared. Recorded mileage sits at 90,586 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 6,470 miles per year and matching typical use for the age. The odometer moved from 72,641 on 15 November 2022 to 76,331 by 10 November 2023, then 82,902 on 15 November 2024, and 90,586 at the failed 2025 test, giving steady annual gains of around 4,000 to 8,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse, showing no advisories or defect lines across any entry, so the file gives little insight into wear on consumables or structure beyond the bare pass and fail marks. A buyer must establish why the October 2025 test failed with no defect logged, as this often signals a documentation error, absent certificate, or a tester aborting the exam. Given the clean earlier record, suspicion falls on an administrative stop rather than obvious mechanical collapse, but the absence of advisories across five years is unusual for a 14-year-old hatchback and warrants hands-on checks. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion directly, since none were flagged yet none were disclosed as monitored. Verify the exhaust emissions and structural integrity in person before purchase, and confirm the 2025 failure is resolved with a fresh pass and full defect list from the tester.
