2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DV13 ACZ

The 2013 Vauxhall Corsa shows a stable mechanical roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT on 2 December 2022 at 97,186 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. That test date also carries a fail entry at identical mileage and with no defects logged, mirroring the pattern seen on 2 December 2021 at 87,627 miles. The maintenance trend is steady, with zero recorded advisories or mechanical faults across the three years of available history. Mileage advanced from 77,295 miles at the 3 December 2020 test to 87,627 miles by 2 December 2021, then to 97,186 miles by 2 December 2022. Those increments of 10,332 and 9,559 miles per year sit above the roughly 7,476 miles per annum implied by the car's age, yet remain typical for a small petrol hatchback. The record lacks tests prior to 2020, so early-life wear stays unverified, but the recent accumulation is consistent and shows no sudden jumps. A buyer should still arrange a hands-on inspection of age-sensitive components despite the clean MOT ledger. The tester documented no corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake defects, but thirteen years of service can conceal degrading coil springs, tired dampers, and surface rust at structural seams. Examine brake discs for lip wear and confirm calipers are free from binding during a road trial. Exhaust emissions may meet limits yet benefit from a visual check of the catalyst and mounts. The same-day fail and pass entries with no defects suggest the previous keepers resolved any non-mechanical compliance swiftly rather than neglecting the vehicle. Such diligence implies basic upkeep was not skipped, though the absence of recorded faults offers no insight into consumable items like tyre tread depth or wiper condition. Physical verification of those minor wear parts remains prudent before purchase.
