2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FD12 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 December 2025 at 54,391 miles. This test was completed with no defects recorded, indicating the car met all minimum legal requirements at that time. The record shows a pattern of immediate rectification, as the vehicle passed shortly after failures on 1 December 2025 and 28 July 2025. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 3,885 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 51,444 miles and the December 2025 test at 54,391 miles, the car covered only 2,947 miles over seventeen months. Such low usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which often introduces different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components prone to degradation from inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on the tyres, and signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers. While the MOT history is clean of recorded defects, the low annual mileage increases the likelihood of battery degradation and fluid contamination. Inspect the underside for surface rust or structural corrosion, as low-mileage cars often suffer from moisture traps if not driven regularly. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure the rubber has not hardened or cracked due to age. These checks will confirm if the vehicle was stored in a climate-controlled environment or left exposed to the elements.
