AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 29 September 2025 at 158,736 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the latest three passed tests showing clean outcomes and no advisories on brakes, suspension, or corrosion. Annual mileage averages 8,819 across the car's 18-year life, a typical figure for the age. The records show 145,154 miles on 23 October 2023, 152,106 on 16 October 2024, and 158,736 on 29 September 2025, equating to roughly 6,900 to 7,000 miles added each year. The data is sparse but clean, with only two failed tests logged on 16 October 2023 at 144,994 miles and 16 October 2024 at 152,106 miles, both showing no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentational errors rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 158,736 miles. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across the timeline, so no recurring wear pattern emerges from the official record. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the twin failed entries with zero defects imply loose record-keeping rather than neglected upkeep. Verify the V5C against the mileage sequence and confirm no hidden weld repairs exist before purchase.
