AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Corsa demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on twenty-fourth October 2025 at one hundred eleven thousand nine hundred forty-five miles. This latest test followed a failure two days prior on twenty-second October 2025 at one hundred eleven thousand nine hundred forty-three miles, though the official record lists no specific defect codes for that refusal. The maintenance trend reflects reliable subsequent presentation after minor administrative or rectification hurdles, leaving the vehicle in a legally compliant state ten months prior to the current date. Annual mileage accumulation remains modest and consistent for an eighteen-year-old hatchback, averaging roughly six thousand two hundred miles per year. The vehicle covered just three thousand eight hundred eighty-nine miles between the November 2022 test at one hundred five thousand eight hundred fifty-four miles and the October 2025 test. This steady, low-intensity usage pattern indicates light urban or suburban duty rather than heavy fleet or motorway deployment, which typically spares drivetrain components from premature fatigue. The MOT history is remarkably sparse regarding advisory items, with zero recorded advisories or structural warnings across the entire five-year dataset from November 2022 onward. Such a clean diagnostic sheet suggests the previous owner addressed consumable items proactively before tests, but prospective buyers must still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the braking system, suspension bushes, coil springs, and the structural integrity of the sills and floorpan, as these represent standard mechanical vulnerability points for late-2000s Vauxhall platforms regardless of historic test outcomes.
