2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DV60 EBF

The 2010 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 August 2025 at 64,041 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 22 August 2024 at 60,946 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at 64,041 against a 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,000 miles per year and marking this as a low-use example. The DVSA log shows steady, light accumulation: 55,249 miles in July 2022, 58,306 in August 2023, 60,946 by August 2024, and 64,041 by August 2025. A notable event occurred on 7 August 2024 at 60,941 miles when the car failed the test, yet the record lists no defects; the owner corrected the issue and passed fifteen days later at 60,946 miles. Sparse entries and zero advisories across the visible history imply the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the unexplained failure warrants a check of the original refusal reason. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often allows corrosion to develop on structural members and exhaust components while the car sits idle. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of binding calipers or worn tyres, but the 2024 failure with no logged defect suggests a documentation gap rather than proven mechanical soundness. Verify the test station's failure rationale for the 7 August 2024 entry before purchase. Confirm underseal condition, subframe integrity, and flexible brake hose condition in person, as these items escape MOT capture until significantly degraded.
