2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FM14 KXS

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 77,666 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests in September 2024, 2023, and 2022 likewise passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 5 September 2024 at 71,351 miles, reversed six days later at 71,411 miles with a pass and no defects listed, which points to a minor administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 64,159 miles in September 2022, 67,404 in September 2023, 71,411 by September 2024, and 77,666 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,200 to 6,200 miles per year, below the 6,472 average implied by the lifetime figure, suggesting light private use with no abrupt gaps or high-load periods. The clean sweep of advisories across all tests indicates previous owners kept consumables and structure within limits. A buyer should still verify in person what the MOT cannot capture. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and corrosion across five years is unusual for a 2014 Corsa and may reflect tester leniency or genuine care. Inspect subframes and sills for structural rust, check front suspension arms for worn bushes, and confirm rear brake calipers are free. The September 2024 fail with no defects recorded warrants a look at the VT30 to confirm no suppressed fault. Given the low annual mileage and clean history, the vehicle shows no worsening trend or recurring mechanical risk. The quick re-test after the 2024 fail implies the owner addressed the issue promptly. Treat the car as a sound used buy, but commission a independent inspection of steering joints and exhaust emissions before purchase.
