2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FN62 XNH

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with four consecutive clean passes followed by a pass on 5 November 2025 that introduced the first recorded advisories. The overall trend indicates a stable mechanical state for several years, though the most recent test highlights the onset of component degradation. The recorded mileage of 47,197 miles over approximately 14 years represents a low annual average of roughly 3,371 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has experienced long periods of inactivity or very limited use. Mechanically, this often means that components are more likely to fail due to age-related perishability rather than operational wear and tear. Attention must be paid to the rear tyres, as the latest inspection flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres as damaged, cracking, or perishing. A physical inspection should focus on the tyre sidewalls for visible weather cracking. During a test drive, monitor for any abnormal vibrations or road noise emanating from the rear of the vehicle, which can be symptomatic of perished rubber. While the MOT history is relatively clean regarding structural or mechanical failures, the low mileage necessitates a close look at other age-sensitive items. Check for any stiffness in the steering or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate that suspension bushes have hardened or perished. Ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent, as low-use vehicles can occasionally develop binding calipers.
