2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FL60 KXC

The 2025-09-25 MOT at 65,788 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the required roadworthiness standards. The preceding September 2025 failure at 65,655 miles was resolved before the subsequent test, suggesting an improving maintenance trend rather than a persistent decline. At 65,788 miles the car averages roughly 4,112 miles per year over its 16‑year lifespan, a figure well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age and implying extended periods of inactivity. The mileage record shows a 5,232‑mile increase between the September 2024 test at 60,423 miles and the September 2025 failure, followed by only 133 miles in the eight days before the September 2025 pass, indicating recent, limited use. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that have repeatedly required attention: inspect the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that rear brake calipers are not binding and that brake discs show no scoring or excessive wear, and examine the chassis rails and wheel arches for any signs of structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. Finally, check tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the exhaust system for cracks or leaks, as these consumables often reveal neglect despite a clean MOT, and confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains sound before purchase.
