2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FD12 ACY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-28 at 98,200 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming stable roadworthiness. A prior test on 2026-03-25 at 98,127 miles also passed with no issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2025-04-10 at 94,733 miles—despite no recorded defects—raises questions about potential unresolved concerns. The absence of defects in the last two tests indicates no immediate risks, but the failed entry without explanation warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,200 miles at 14 years old aligns with an average of 7,014 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. A notable gap between 2024-04-18 (89,555 miles) and 2025-04-10 (94,734 miles) shows 5,179 miles accrued over 12 months, followed by a slower 3,466 miles between 2025-04-10 and 2026-03-28. This irregularity could indicate periods of reduced use or storage, which might affect components like the battery, brakes, or suspension. The MOT history lacks recurring mechanical issues, but the failed test without defects suggests possible administrative errors or unrecorded faults. A buyer should inspect the suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often degrade over time. Structural integrity is likely sound, but rust or corrosion in hidden areas—such as underbody panels—requires a thorough visual assessment. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests is positive, but the 2025-04-10 failure without explanation necessitates a pre-purchase inspection to confirm no underlying issues were overlooked.
