2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DA61 UGK

The 2011 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 34,555 miles. The maintenance trend across the supplied DVSA history shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories. A single anomaly appears on 1 December 2023 when the tester issued a fail with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at 29,575 miles, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect. Mileage accumulation sits low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 27,388 miles in December 2022, rising to 29,575 by December 2023, then 32,252 in December 2024 and 34,555 in December 2025. That equates to roughly 2,300 miles per year, confirming light use. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps exist between annual tests. The clean sheets across all passes suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear within test limits, though low standing mileage can disguise perished rubber components and stagnant fluid degradation not caught by the MOT. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related stiffness given the car's limited movement. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is favourable, but standing periods promote underbody damp retention unseen on a pass certificate. Verify the 2023 duplicate entry with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking and test brake disc condition before purchase. The history implies careful, low-demand ownership rather than deferred maintenance, yet a physical inspection remains essential on a vehicle of this age.
