2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FM10 MCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 at 84,436 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the test following initial failures. While the record shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, the immediate rectification of these issues within five days suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing necessary repairs to ensure the vehicle met safety standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 1,659 miles, which represents a period of very low usage. However, the mileage increased by 9,573 miles in the following year leading up to the 2026 tests. This surge in use likely accounts for the mechanical failures noted during inspections, as components such as rubber bushes and brake assemblies often suffer accelerated wear or degradation when used after long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the areas that likely caused the 2025 and 2026 failures, although the specific defect descriptions were not detailed in the provided summary. Given the fluctuating usage patterns, check for corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary. Examine the structural integrity of the sills and the condition of the suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to surface rust and perished rubber if not driven regularly.
