2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FH13 OUW

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 52,673 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 52,673 against a 2013 build date equates to roughly 4,052 miles per year, confirming light use for its age. The DVSA entries show steady, low annual increments: 47,497 miles in March 2023, 49,006 in February 2024, 51,051 in February 2025, and 52,673 in February 2026. A failed test on 6 February 2024 at 49,006 miles carries no listed defects, with a pass logged the same day, suggesting an administrative or emissions retest rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. Given the low mileage and absence of advisories across five years, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related perishing rather than wear-driven degradation. Long standing periods implied by the low annual use raise the risk of seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and subframe corrosion unseen by the tester. A pre-purchase check beneath the sills and wheel arches remains prudent despite the clear MOT trail.
