2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FN16 XMS

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 8 July 2024 at 50,983 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history. The vehicle passed without advisories in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though each of the last two years shows a same-day fail and pass at identical mileage, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage stands at 50,983 against a June 2016 registration, averaging roughly 5,098 miles per year. The odometer moved from 38,573 in June 2022 to 44,109 in June 2023, then to 50,983 by July 2024. That is consistent low annual use with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Low mileage of this order often means longer stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop despite a clean test sheet. The DVSA record flags no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion and brake caliper condition, since standing vehicles rot quietly between annual tests. The twin fail-pass entries on 30 June 2023 and 8 July 2024 at 44,109 and 50,983 miles suggest the seller or tester corrected a non-mechanical matter before reissue; confirm the V5C and test certificate align with the pass record. Given the sparse, clean history and low yearly coverage, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing. No evidence shows skipped consumable replacement or ignored structural risk. A pre-purchase check should nonetheless verify tyre sidewall age and wiper condition, as these wear with time rather than miles.
