2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FP12 FVO

The 2012 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 39,535 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 39,535 against an April 2012 registration, averaging roughly 2,824 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low accumulation: 29,686 miles in May 2022, 32,866 by April 2023, 36,101 in April 2024, and 39,535 in May 2025. A failed test on 10 May 2022 at 29,686 miles preceded a pass the next day at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating the failure carried no recorded fault and the owner corrected or retested without delay. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fourteen years. Low annual mileage often means long stationary periods that accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake calipers. The MOT history flags no advisories, but testers record only visible defects at the time. Verify underside condition, subframe integrity, and tyre sidewall age before purchase. The absence of recorded faults reflects test-day condition, not a guarantee against age-related degradation now roughly fourteen months on from the last test.
