2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FH11 EEA

The 2011 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 148,621 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2023 to 2024 also carried clean sheets. The only blemish is a fail on 3 September 2024 at 146,710 miles, which the tester cleared eleven days later at 146,719 miles with no defects listed on either entry, indicating an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a serious fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,900 per year against the car's age, a typical load for a 15-year-old supermini. The records show 142,333 miles in August 2022, 143,540 by September 2023, 146,710 by September 2024, and 148,621 by September 2025. That is about 3,000 miles in the first interval and under 2,500 in each later year, confirming light and consistent use with no sudden accumulation or long standing gaps. With no advisories or defects logged across five tests, the history gives no signal of recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, exhaust corrosion, or structural integrity issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe and sills for hidden rust, check the coil springs and calipers for age-related fatigue, and verify the emissions system, as a clean MOT does not certify component life beyond the test day. The unexplained fail in September 2024 warrants a glance at the original refusal sheet if available, though the immediate pass with zero defects suggests no lasting concern. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current without deferring consumables to the point of advisory flags.
