2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FV11 AEO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its most recent MOT history, showing no recorded defects at the last test on 25 March 2022. While the record shows some intermittent issues with consumables, the overall maintenance trend suggests a vehicle that has been kept roadworthy through reactive repairs. The absence of any recorded advisories or failures in the final two years of documented testing indicates a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage profile shows very low usage for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,128 miles per year. Between March 2019 and March 2021, the mileage increased from 32,311 to 50,912, representing a slightly higher usage period of roughly 9,300 miles per year. Since the March 2021 test, the recorded mileage has remained static at 61,925, suggesting the car has been stationary for a significant period. This pattern of low annual mileage can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids despite the lack of mechanical wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and suspension components. The March 2021 test flagged a nearside rear tyre that was both worn close to the legal limit and showing signs of perishing, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that sit idle. The 2016 failure involving a broken offside front coil spring indicates that suspension components have required replacement in the past. The brake system also warrants a physical inspection. The March 2020 failure recorded inadequate service brake effort and an imbalance across the front axle, which required rectification to pass. While the 2022 test showed no issues, the history of brake imbalance and the long period of inactivity since the last recorded mileage of 61,925 means checking for binding calipers or corroded brake discs is a necessary precaution.
