2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DY62 RWJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on January 5 2026 at 105,816 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed without recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. While the record shows immediate failures followed by passes in both 2025 and 2026, these entries suggest that issues were rectified promptly prior to the retest. The mileage profile is consistent with a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 91,236 miles and the January 2025 test at 99,031 miles, the car covered 7,795 miles. The subsequent 6,785 miles recorded in the year leading up to January 2026 maintain this steady pattern. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often helps prevent brake corrosion and rubber degradation associated with inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of common failure points that do not always trigger a fail. Focus on the suspension components for worn bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade on cars of this age regardless of mileage. Examine the brake discs for signs of pitting or thinning and check the structural integrity for surface rust along the sills and wheel arches, where the Corsa is prone to corrosion over time.
