2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FE62 AAF

The vehicle has a stable maintenance record with no recorded defects across its last five tests. The most recent pass on 22 December 2021 at 74,235 miles suggests the car was in a roadworthy condition at that time. A failure occurred shortly before this on 8 December 2021, though the record provides no specific defect details, implying a minor issue was rectified quickly to achieve the subsequent pass. The mileage is low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,302 miles per year. Between November 2018 and November 2020, the odometer rose from 47,141 to 65,274 miles, showing consistent usage. However, the car has remained static at 74,235 miles since December 2021. This four-and-a-half-year gap in MOT history and mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle has been standing for a significant period. Long-term inactivity introduces specific mechanical risks that the MOT record cannot capture. A buyer must check for perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded battery health. The lack of recent movement often leads to flat spots on tyres and moisture buildup in the exhaust system. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion and check the suspension bushes for cracking due to age and lack of movement. While the historical lack of advisories is positive, the current lack of a valid MOT since 2021 means the vehicle is not currently roadworthy. A full mechanical sympathy check is required to ensure the engine and drivetrain have not suffered from prolonged dormancy.
