2001 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · GV51 FYM

The Vauxhall Corsa shows a current roadworthy status following a pass on 23 October 2025 at 178,327 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of same-week fail-and-pass cycles that points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than progressive mechanical decline. The most recent failure on 20 October 2025 at 178,083 miles carried no recorded defects, mirroring an identical pattern in November 2024. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 25-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,133 miles per year. The record moves from 149,559 miles at the January 2024 test to 162,370 miles by November 2024, then to 178,327 miles by October 2025, reflecting steady annual use of roughly 13,000 to 16,000 miles in the later entries. No long dormant gaps or sudden accumulation spikes appear; the sparse history of only three pass years means underlying wear between tests is undocumented. The repeated no-defect failures on 20 October 2025 and 29 November 2024 suggest the car was presented for test before being correctly prepared or registered, but the tester logged nothing structurally or mechanically wrong. A buyer should still inspect in person for corrosion on sills and subframes, worn suspension bushes, and brake disc condition, as a 178,000-mile Corsa of this era commonly hides such issues outside the MOT snapshot. Verify the actual reason for the two clean failures with the selling garage before purchase.
