2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FH65 OBY

The 2015 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 64,996 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 9 August 2024 at 55,724 miles listed no defects, indicating a administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass the same day. The recorded mileage shows light use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. It rose from 38,959 miles at the 4 August 2022 test to 48,261 miles by 8 August 2023, then to 55,724 miles on 9 August 2024, and reached 64,996 miles by 19 August 2025. That equates to roughly 5,900 miles per year, well below the national average. The clean record with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or emission advisories across all entries suggests the previous keeper kept the car garaged or on short runs, with no evidence of neglect or deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Low annual mileage and probable long stationary periods raise the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, or sub-surface structural corrosion not visible during a brief test. The DVSA record confirms no tester ever flagged tyres, exhaust, or steering wear, yet these items degrade with age as much as distance. Verify the 9 August 2024 failure reason through DVSA channels to rule out a missed brake or lighting defect caught on retest. Check suspension arms, coil springs, and underbody for rust before purchase, as the clean history offers no assurance against faults that simply went unrecorded.
