2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · DE63 CYY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in August 2025 at 71,162 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend after a period of concern in late 2024. While the November 2024 test revealed multiple mechanical and structural defects, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed the necessary repairs, including the track rod end and the wheel fixing that previously caused a failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,162 miles represents low annual usage of approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals between recent tests, with only 1,416 miles covered between the October 2023 and August 2025 tests. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often leads to rubber-based components degrading or corrosion due to the vehicle sitting for extended periods, as evidenced by the structural rust issues noted in the 2024 record. A physical inspection should focus on the recurring areas that have shown issues in the past. The November 2024 test flagged corrosion on the rear suspension spring mountings on both the nearside and offside sides; a buyer must verify that this corrosion has not progressed into a structural failure since the last test. Additionally, the minor oil leak reported in 2024 should be monitored to ensure it remains a stable seepage rather than a developing fault. Given that the front brake discs were noted as worn in 2024, the current thickness and condition of the discs should be checked to ensure they were replaced during the recent maintenance interval.
