2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DA61 USG

The 2026‑02‑02 MOT at 80,379 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s current condition meets the DVSA roadworthiness standard and that the maintenance trend remains stable. The mileage accumulates at roughly 5,741 miles per year, a rate that is low for a 14‑year‑old car and suggests light use or extended periods of inactivity. Between the 2024‑02‑21 test at 72,835 miles and the 2025‑02‑14 test at 76,556 miles the vehicle gained 3,721 miles, and from 2025‑02‑14 to the 2026‑02‑02 test at 80,379 miles it added another 3,823 miles, showing a consistent, non‑accelerating increase. The 2024‑02‑21 failure for a split front drive‑shaft constant‑velocity boot and the 2025‑02‑14 horn defect reveal recurring mechanical issues that a buyer should verify in person. No structural rust or corrosion was recorded, but the repeated boot failure points to possible exposure to moisture or inadequate sealing. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or uneven wear, check the CV joint for play and the integrity of its boot, test the horn operation, and look for any signs of structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches or suspension mounting points.
