2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FL11 UTF

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 75,131 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 3 January 2025 at 73,959 miles and 4 January 2024 at 70,883 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or escalating faults across the three years of valid data. Recorded mileage sits at 75,131 against a 2011 build, equating to roughly 5,000 miles per year. The DVSA log shows light annual use: 70,878 miles on 19 December 2023, 70,882 on 4 January 2024, 70,883 the same day after a retest, then 73,959 by January 2025 and 75,131 by January 2026. Two failed tests in late December 2023 and early January 2024 carry no listed defects, implying administrative or unrecorded minor issues rather than mechanical decline. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fifteen years. Low mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface corrosion on sills or subframes from prolonged standing. The absence of advisories in the MOT data does not confirm freedom from wear on these age-sensitive parts. Verify the reason for the December 2023 and January 2024 failures with the selling garage, since the record shows no defects yet two rejection entries days apart. Confirm exhaust emissions and tyre condition visually before purchase, as neither was flagged but both degrade with intermittent use on an older Vauxhall.
