2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FH63 TKE

The Vauxhall Corsa currently holds a failed MOT status from the 15 January 2026 test at 152,459 miles, with no defects formally recorded against the failure. Prior to that, the vehicle passed every test from 4 January 2024 through 6 January 2025, and also passed on 30 December 2022 at 133,784 miles after an initial failure on the same date. The maintenance trend shows a clean advisory-free history across four years, but the most recent failure leaves the car unroadworthy until the unspecified defect is corrected and documented. The recorded mileage of 152,459 over roughly twelve years equates to about 12,705 miles per year, which sits high for a 2014 supermini and points to steady commuter use rather than light weekend running. The odometer moved from 133,784 in December 2022 to 139,754 in January 2024, then to 148,760 in January 2025 and 152,459 by January 2026, showing consistent annual accumulation of roughly 6,000 to 9,000 miles with no standing periods. The DVSA data is sparse, listing no advisories or defects across any pass, so the record alone gives no early warning of wear on consumables or structure. A buyer must establish why the January 2026 test failed with zero defects logged, as DVSA systems occasionally omit printed fault lines and the car cannot be driven legally until retested. Given the high mileage and age, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue and corrosion even though no tester flagged them. The absence of advisories across the prior passes suggests previous owners kept the car to minimum pass standard, but it does not confirm underlying rust or drivetrain condition. Inspect the subframe and sills for structural corrosion, and verify the exhaust emissions and binding calipers under load during a road trial. The same-day fail and pass in December 2022 implies a quick fix was made without advisory, so confirm that repair held. Without the January 2026 failure detail, treat the Corsa as a candidate only after a fresh MOT and independent mechanical inspection.
