2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FN16 WNU

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 July 2025 at 60,227 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test recorded no defects, and the prior annual tests in July 2024 and July 2023 also passed cleanly. The only anomalies are two failed tests dated 10 July 2025 and 5 July 2023, both showing no defects recorded, which suggests administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,000 miles against the car's 2016 build, a typical use pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 53,405 miles at the July 2023 failure to 57,750 miles by July 2024, then 60,227 miles by July 2025. That equates to about 3,300 miles in the first interval and 2,477 miles in the second, indicating light and consistent use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse, listing only passes and two defect-free failures, so no wear-driven advisories exist to track. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the age and the unexplained failure entries. The clean record offers no flagged items, but the twin defect-free failures warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA log. Verify the tester stations did not omit advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions during those visits. Given the low yearly coverage and absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers likely maintained basic statutory testing. The Corsa shows no worsening mechanical trend, yet the two anomalous failures mean a pre-purchase check of structural integrity and binding calipers remains prudent.
