2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FL62 TLZ

The maintenance trend for this 2012 Vauxhall Corsa remains stable, culminating in a clean pass at 94,798 miles on 6 June 2025 with zero defects recorded. A prior test on the same date in 2024 at 89,743 miles shows a failure, though the record lists no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault, as it passed immediately afterwards at 89,746 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the recent history indicates the vehicle currently meets all roadworthiness standards without any recurring mechanical concerns. Covering roughly 6,771 miles annually, the mileage accumulation sits well within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. The odometer advanced by 5,052 miles between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests, demonstrating consistent, regular use. A notable gap exists between the February 2022 test at 83,735 miles and the June 2023 test at 89,477 miles, representing a 5,742-mile increase over approximately sixteen months. This slightly longer interval does not indicate rapid accumulation but rather steady, low-mileage usage patterns typical of short-journey or suburban driving. Despite the pristine MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged standing or short trips. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, as low-speed, short-journey driving often prevents pads from wiping discs clean. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or uneven wear, verifying the manufacture date to ensure they are not aged beyond safe limits. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or corrosion, and scrutinise the exhaust system for early signs of rust, particularly around the silencer box and joints.
