2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FH12 EPF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend following a previous failure. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 132,778 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025, indicating that any mechanical issues identified during the June 2023 failure were successfully rectified and not recur. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,522 miles, while the interval between March 2025 and March 2026 saw 7,427 miles. This regularity suggests a predictable usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation which often lead to seized components or perished rubber. The gap between the June 2023 and March 2024 tests is also standard for an annual testing cycle. While the MOT records are clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear on a Corsa of this mileage. Given the age and 132,000 mile reading, close attention should be paid to suspension bushes and worn coil springs which often manifest as knocks. The brakes should be checked for thin discs or signs of binding calipers, as the MOT only tests for efficiency rather than overall component thickness. Inspect the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, as structural rust frequently develops on vehicles of this era.
