2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · DA65 WFT

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following a pass at 172,211 miles on 30 September 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though a failed test on 27 September 2025 at the identical mileage of 172,211 is notable. The failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed three days later without correction needed. Annual mileage averages 15,656 against the 11-year age, which is high for a Corsa and points to sustained commuter or fleet-style use. The records show steady accumulation: 129,211 miles in September 2022, 150,022 in September 2023, 162,700 in September 2024, and 172,211 by September 2025. No gaps exist between annual tests, and the clean pass record across four consecutive years indicates the previous owner kept the car to a basic test-standard threshold rather than allowing faults to build. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as the MOT only confirms roadworthiness at the test moment and does not measure wear margins. The absence of advisories in any entry is unusual at this mileage and may reflect tester leniency rather than a genuinely unworn chassis. Given the high miles and the unexplained fail-pass sequence in late September 2025, verify the V5C and test certificate in person to confirm the failure cause was non-mechanical. Prioritise checking for structural corrosion and exhaust emissions integrity, as these areas degrade silently and were not flagged across the sparse but clean record.
