2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FP18 LXC

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 105,188 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in July 2024 at 82,779 miles and July 2023 at 66,012 miles also passed clean, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the visible history. The recorded mileage sits high for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 13,148 miles per year. The jump from 45,449 miles at the 8 July 2022 test to 66,011 miles by 14 July 2023 shows near 20,600 miles added in twelve months, with a further 16,767 miles by July 2024 and 22,409 miles by July 2025. The sparse five-entry record gives no sign of long dormant periods, but the steady high accumulation points to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than light local running. One anomaly warrants scrutiny: the 14 July 2023 failure at 66,011 miles carries no listed defects, with a clean pass logged just thirteen days later at 66,012 miles. This suggests an administrative or presentational error at the test centre rather than a genuine mechanical fault, though the buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA gateway record before purchase. Given the clean advisory history, no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion items were ever flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, confirm brake caliper operation after the high-mileage use, and check consumable tyre and wiper condition, as these fall outside MOT defect capture until worn beyond limits.
