2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FM14 BUV

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 90,347 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Prior tests in July 2024 at 80,787 miles and August 2023 at 72,586 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure on 10 August 2023 at 72,586 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day under the same mileage. Annual mileage averages 7,529 across the 12-year life, a typical figure for this age of supermini. The records show steady accumulation: 62,614 miles in July 2022, rising to 72,586 by August 2023, 80,787 by July 2024, and 90,347 by August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across every test means the DVSA data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Twelve years of age invites corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points even where the tester logged nothing. Check the front coil springs and lower arm bushes for fatigue, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as these wear silently between annual tests. The absence of advisories across five years suggests either conscientious upkeep or cursory testing. Verify service history against the mileage stamps and confirm the 2023 duplicate entry was a test-centre error, not a concealed repair. Treat the clean MOT as a baseline, not a guarantee of component life.
