2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DN11 LUY

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by increasing frequency of failures and recurring issues with consumables. While the most recent test on 22 June 2026 at 68,237 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle required remedial work for an inoperative registration plate lamp and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. The history from 2024 through 2026 shows a pattern of failing MOT tests due to preventable issues, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. The recorded mileage of 68,237 miles is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 4,549 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the data, with significant gaps between tests, such as the period between March 2024 and June 2025. However, this low annual mileage appears to correlate with age-related degradation of rubber components. The record shows consistent issues with tyres perishing and cracking, specifically noted in March 2024, June 2025, and June 2026, which is typical for vehicles that spend long periods stationary. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the tyre condition and the suspension system. The April 2023 failure for excessive wear in the nearside front Macpherson strut top bush indicates previous suspension component fatigue. Although no recent structural corrosion was flagged, the recurring issues with battery security and lighting components suggest a lack of attention to basic electrical and mounting checks. The presence of an oil leak noted in March 2022, while not excessive at the time, warrants a close inspection of the engine bay for any signs of worsening seepage or significant fluid loss.
