2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FL13 AEA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on November 6 2025 at 62,740 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance history reveals a period of instability during late 2024. The trend appears improving as the vehicle moved from multiple failures in October 2024 to a clean pass in the following year, suggesting that the owner eventually made a concerted effort to bring the car up to compliance standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between October 2024 and November 2025, the car covered only 3,249 miles, which indicates very light usage or significant periods of stationary. This low annual mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to specific issues related to age, such as the degradation of rubber-based suspension bushes or the corrosion of brake discs if the vehicle was not driven regularly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the specific areas that caused the three failures in October 2024, as the record provided does not detail the mechanical reasons for those rejections. Given the low mileage and age of the Corsa, focus on structural corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for this model. You should also check for seized brake calipers or perished tyre sidew, as these issues frequently arise in vehicles that sit idle for long periods between tests.
