AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a limited but clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 19 October 2021 at 166,210 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The available data shows a stable maintenance trend with no advisories or failures logged. Given the absence of any flagged issues across the supplied history, the vehicle appears to have met roadworthiness standards at its last examination over four years ago. The recorded mileage of 166,210 at the October 2021 test equates to an average of roughly 7,555 miles per year since the 2004 registration, which sits within typical use for a car of this age. The single entry provides no evidence of rapid accumulation or extended periods off the road, though the sparse record leaves a four-year gap unaccounted for up to the current date of 8 July 2026. A buyer should treat the mileage as plausible but unverified beyond that lone reading. With no tester-flagged corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues in the history, the MOT offers little to challenge the car's structural integrity as of late 2021. The clean sheet suggests previous upkeep met minimum legal standards at the time. However, the elapsed period since testing means consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition will have degraded regardless of the earlier pass. In person, a buyer must commission a fresh test or independent inspection before purchase. Focus on subframe rust, coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake disc thickness, as these commonly fail on twenty-two-year-old Vauxhalls absent from the record. The odometer reading should be corroborated against service stamps, given the solitary data point.
