2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FM65 WOB

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test passed on 3 November 2025 at 71,703 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 2022 onward resulting in a pass apart from a failed entry two days prior to the latest pass. That failure on 1 November 2025 at 71,702 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared two days later with a clean sheet. Recorded mileage shows light, consistent use for a ten-year-old car. The odometer read 51,839 miles at the 31 October 2022 test, rose to 55,076 miles by 1 November 2023, then 57,021 miles on 1 November 2024, and reached 71,703 miles by the November 2025 tests. Annual accumulation stayed near 3,000 to 4,000 miles for three years before jumping roughly 14,700 miles in the final year. The average of about 7,170 miles per year remains typical for the age, and the sparse five-entry record carries no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of recorded advisories means worn suspension bushes, tired coil springs, or early structural rust were not flagged, but testers often miss incipient faults on a brief ramp check. The 2025 mileage surge suggests harder recent use, so examine brake disc condition, caliper operation, and underbody corrosion that a pass certificate will not detail. Given the faultless results and low overall mileage, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The only anomaly is the November 2025 fail-with-no-defects, which points to a paperwork or retest timing quirk rather than neglected maintenance. Verify service history and confirm the 2025 failure cause at the supplying garage before purchase.
