2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DU07 AFZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-02-17 at 136,530 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this is over three years old. Earlier tests in 2022 and 2023 show inconsistent results, with two passes and two fails at identical mileages (132,443 and 136,530 miles), raising questions about data accuracy or repeated testing. No critical mechanical or structural issues were flagged in the record, but the absence of recent MOTs since 2023-02-17 suggests a lack of ongoing maintenance scrutiny. The trend remains unclear, as no recurring faults or escalating risks are documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 136,530 miles at 19 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 7,186 miles, indicating typical wear for its age. However, a two-year gap between the 2020-12-23 MOT (123,816 miles) and the next test in 2022-02-07 (132,443 miles) suggests possible periods of inactivity or missed inspections. The identical mileage recorded for both a pass and fail in 2022 and 2023 further complicates the assessment, potentially reflecting data entry errors or repeated testing without resolution. The sparse record lacks detailed defect descriptions, limiting insight into underlying mechanical health. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common issues in older vehicles. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or fatigue in the chassis could go undetected in MOT records. The lack of recent MOT data means the current condition remains unverified, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm roadworthiness.
