2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FL62 RNA

The 2012 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2025 at 136,000 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 8 April 2024 at 130,050 miles and 25 April 2022 at 117,755 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults or unresolved advisories across the available history. Annual mileage averages close to 9,700 miles, which sits within typical use for a fourteen-year-old supermini. The records show steady accumulation: 117,755 miles in April 2022, 124,454 miles in April 2023, 130,050 miles in April 2024, and 136,000 miles by April 2025. A duplicate entry exists for 11 April 2023 where the car first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The data is sparse but consistently clean. Given the absence of recorded advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the MOT history implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory standards. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as these wear items are not always captured without an advisory. Front subframe and sill corrosion should be checked given the vehicle's age and winter road salt exposure. The clean test sequence suggests no pattern of neglected consumables such as tyres or wiper blades. At 136,000 miles the drivetrain has covered average distance; a pre-purchase check of clutch bite and gearbox condition remains sensible. The records support a fair mechanical prospect provided an independent inspection confirms underside integrity.
