2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FM18 YVZ

The 2018 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 7 May 2025 at 24,026 miles. No defects or advisories have been recorded across the entire documented MOT history. This flawless record indicates a vehicle that has consistently met required safety and emissions standards without any recurring mechanical failures. The maintenance trajectory is undeniably stable, showing no signs of deterioration or neglect over the last five years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,000 miles annually. The record shows a significant jump between the May 2023 test at 9,285 miles and the May 2024 test at 19,849 miles, representing an increase of over 10,500 miles in a single year. Prior to this, mileage grew very slowly, moving from 6,308 miles in July 2021 to just 8,910 miles by July 2022. Since the 2024 test, the odometer has barely moved, adding only 4,177 miles by the most recent test in May 2025, suggesting a return to very light usage or potentially long periods of standing. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential due to the unusual mileage profile. Vehicles covering such low annual distances often suffer from perished rubber suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, and exhaust system moisture damage caused by short, cold runs. The sudden 10,000-mile spike between 2023 and 2024 warrants a close look at the drivetrain and braking components for wear inconsistent with the current odometer reading. Buyers should inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, check the brake calipers for signs of binding, and examine the undercarriage for any structural corrosion that MOT tests might not fully capture. A thorough test drive will verify whether the engine and gearbox operate smoothly after what appears to be another period of very light use.
