2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · EO61 JGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test on 28 August 2025 at 67,639 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for an oil leak and an incorrectly coloured nearside rear indicator. While the oil leak was deemed not excessive by the tester, its presence suggests that the previous owner only addresses mechanical defects once they result in a formal MOT failure. At approximately 15 years old, this Vauxhall Corsa has covered a remarkably low distance, averaging roughly 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 3,029 miles driven between the September 2023 and August 2024 tests, and 3,554 miles in the following year. This low mileage generally means less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading or brake components seizing due to the vehicle sitting for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in 2025, as the record also noted a worn bush on the nearside front upper shock absorber in August 2024. The buyer should check the suspension bushings for signs of perished rubber or cracking which are common on low-mileage, older vehicles. Given the history of failures for simple bulbs and indicators, a thorough check of all exterior lighting circuits is necessary to ensure no other electrical faults have been overlooked.
