2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN10 MRO

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 160,670 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes from January 2023 to January 2025 also logged no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 26 January 2024 at 148,910 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass three days later on 29 January 2024 at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. The odometer shows 160,670 miles against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year which is typical for the age. Annual accumulation stayed modest: 129,413 miles in January 2023 rose to 148,910 by January 2024, then 151,050 in January 2025 and 160,670 in January 2026. The record shows no large gaps or sudden high-use spikes, and the clean sweep of passes with no advisories points to a previous keeper who kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's sixteen-year age and high mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of wear below test thresholds. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checking, particularly around sills and subframes where Vauxhall Corsas of this era degrade. The January 2024 fail with no recorded defect suggests the tester raised a documentation or identification issue rather than mechanical fault, so verify the V5C and test certificate match. Given the unbroken clean record since, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action beyond standard ageing-component vigilance.
