2021 Vauxhall Corsa SE 1.2L Petrol · DS21 RRO

The 2021 Vauxhall Corsa SE currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 7 May 2025 at 67,146 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of failing the initial test and passing the retest on the same day. In the most recent test on 7 May 2025, the vehicle failed at 67,146 miles before passing at the identical mileage, indicating a swift rectification of a minor defect rather than a prolonged mechanical failure. This same pattern occurred in May 2024, suggesting the owner addresses issues reactively rather than proactively, but the car consistently meets the required standard by the time it leaves the test station. At five years old with 67,146 miles on the clock, this Corsa has covered an average of roughly 13,429 miles per year, which sits on the higher end of typical usage. The mileage accumulation accelerated notably between the 2024 and 2025 tests. In the May 2024 test at 49,213 miles, the vehicle had been driven moderately, but by the May 2025 test at 67,146 miles, it had covered 17,933 miles in just twelve months. This sharp increase points to a recent shift toward heavy daily commuting or sustained motorway driving, which accelerates wear on consumables, suspension components, and the drivetrain. Because the MOT record lacks specific defect details and relies on same-day retests, a buyer must verify the physical condition of the vehicle independently. The high annual mileage warrants a close inspection of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as well as the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature deterioration. The repeated fail-and-retest cycle could point to recurring issues with exhaust emissions or tyre condition, so checking the tread depth across all four corners and inspecting the exhaust system for leaks is essential. A thorough test drive will reveal whether the drivetrain or steering exhibits any play consistent with the wear expected from a high-mileage supermini.
