2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DY62 BCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent passing record over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 37,918 miles resulted in only a minor advisory for discoloured rear all-direction indicators. This follows several years of clean passes between 2022 and 2024, indicating that the car has avoided significant mechanical or structural failures despite its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per annum. Between August 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 5,644 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of stationary. While this low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts. The 2021 test at 32,274 miles specifically flagged perishing on both the nearside rear and offside front tyres, which is a common symptom of low-use vehicles. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all rubber components, specifically suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls, these can dry and crack regardless of tread depth. Because the car has sat frequently, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion and the calipers for being seized or binding due to inactivity. The MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion, but a close look at the sills and wheel arches remains remains necessary to ensure that moisture has not caused hidden rust during periods of standing.
