2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FD16 WWS

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 July 2025 at 38,676 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The July 2025 test shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024, July 2023, and July 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories raised on brakes, suspension, exhaust, or structure. Annual mileage sits at roughly 3,868 per year against a ten-year-old vehicle, a low figure confirmed by the records: 29,186 miles in July 2022, 32,140 in July 2023, 35,292 in July 2024, and 38,676 in July 2025. The year-on-year gains of around 3,000 miles show steady, light use with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such low and consistent covering suggests gentle commuting rather than neglect, though extended standing periods common to low-mileage cars can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the lack of advisory data to confirm wear levels. The clean MOT record offers no flag for structural rust, but sills and subframes warrant checking for moisture trapped during idle spells. Verify the same-day fail on 1 July 2025 was clerical, and confirm the V5C aligns with the low-mileage pattern before purchase.
