2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FN16 YLS

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 7 January 2026 at 101,452 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester recorded no defects at that examination. The vehicle cleared every pass test in the history without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,145 miles against a ten-year lifespan, a typical figure for this age of supermini. The records show steady accumulation: 69,246 miles in January 2023, 81,889 by January 2024, 93,930 in December 2024, then 101,452 at the start of 2026. The gap between the December 2024 and January 2026 tests is just over twelve months, with about 7,500 miles added. The data is sparse but clean, showing no consumable wear flags or structural corrosion entries at any stage. One anomaly warrants scrutiny. The car failed on 5 January 2026 at 101,452 miles yet passed two days later on 7 January 2026 at identical mileage with no defects listed. This suggests the failure likely stemmed from a minor, rectified item such as a lighting fault or documentation issue rather than deep mechanical defect, though the buyer should confirm the failure reason from the full DVSA entry. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, the Corsa shows signs of reasonable upkeep by prior owners. A buyer should still inspect underneath for structural rust and check the front suspension for worn bushes, as ten-year-old Vauxhalls commonly develop such issues between tests. Verify the tyre tread and binding calipers in person, since these consumables fall outside the sparse MOT commentary.
