2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FG16 YHB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 13 August 2025 at 54,685 miles with no defects recorded. This success follows a failure just two days prior at 54,665 miles, which suggests a minor mechanical issue was rectified immediately before the re-test. The lack of advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances during recent inspection intervals. At approximately ten years old, the recorded mileage of 54,685 miles represents a low annual usage rate of roughly 5,500 miles per year. The usage pattern is remarkably consistent, with approximately 5,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,500 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though low-distance driving can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation despite the low mileage. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, an inspection should check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking which can manifest over time regardless of distance travelled. The brake system should be checked for surface corrosion or binding calipers, as low-use vehicles are frequently prone to component seizing. Given the recent test failures in 2024 and 2025, verifying that the specific causes of those failures were properly addressed rather than merely masked is essential for long-term reliability.
