2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DP11 AEK

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes despite occasional minor setbacks. The most recent test in January 2026 at 86,302 miles resulted in an initial failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp, which was rectified immediately to secure a pass. This suggests the owner is responsive to basic safety-related defects, and the record shows no evidence of escalating mechanical degradation or structural failures over the last twelve years. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. There is a visible gap in records between July 2019 and January 2021, where the car covered only 5,425 miles in two years. Since 2021, the usage has increased slightly, covering roughly 31,000 miles over five years to reach the current reading of 86,302 miles. This low overall mileage often leads to the age-related wear of rubber-based components and seals rather than high-mileage engine strain. A buyer should inspect the braking system specifically, as the January 2023 test at 68,260 miles flagged imbalanced brakes across the front axle. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, an imbalance can indicate a sticking caliper or uneven disc wear that requires monitoring over time. Additionally, the January 2025 advisory at 83,002 miles noted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, which points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement.
