2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · DA63 FSG

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 September 2024 at 111,403 miles with no recorded defects. This result followed a failure just one day prior at 111,399 miles, suggesting a minor issue was rectified immediately before the retest. The history indicates a consistent pattern of maintenance, as the car has avoided recurring advisories or failures over the last three testing cycles. The mileage progression is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 82,246 miles and the September 2023 test at 94,858 miles, the car covered 12,612 miles, while the subsequent year saw a higher accumulation of 16,545 miles leading to the most recent test reading. This increase in usage suggests regular driving rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps keep mechanical components lubricated and prevents seal degradation. While the records are clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension-related components and underbody. Given the age and 111,000-mile threshold, checking for wear on control arm bushes and coil springs is essential as these often fatigue over time. The MOT record does not flag brake corrosion or structural rust, but verifying the condition of the brake discs and checking for thinning on the exhaust system will ensure no hidden degradation has developed between the annual inspections.
