2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN62 XMV

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 9 February 2024 at 93,266 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures on 8 February 2024 and 2 June 2022 where the tester logged no defects at all. These suggest documentation or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, so the underlying condition shows no worsening pattern across the record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 2012 car, with 93,266 recorded miles equating to roughly 6,662 per year. The gap between the June 2022 pass at 79,995 miles and the February 2023 pass at 82,869 miles shows only 2,874 miles in eight months, then 10,397 miles added by February 2024. That is modest annual use with no rapid accumulation or long standing periods evident, and the sparse clean record gives little to flag on wear patterns. A buyer should still confirm in person that the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs show no corrosion or wear hidden behind the clean tests. The two zero-defect failures mean the car was presented without a formal pass twice, so check the V5C and test certificates to verify no plates or identification mismatch caused those entries. Given the age, inspect underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The history implies a lightly used car with basic upkeep met, but no advisories were ever raised, so a fresh independent inspection remains sensible before purchase.
