2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · HJ64 URA

The 2014 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 February 2026 at 153,922 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry, sitting just over four months before today's date of 18 June 2026, so the certificate remains valid and the vehicle has been demonstrably roadworthy in the very near term. The record shows no recurring faults, no advisories, and no pattern of deterioration across the entire documented history. Mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained, above-average use. The car has covered roughly 12,827 miles per year over its twelve-year life, which is high for a supermini of this type. The intervals between tests reveal steady progression: 81,418 miles in February 2023, 111,511 miles by January 2024, 138,008 miles by January 2025, and 153,922 miles by February 2026. That is approximately 26,500 miles added in each of the last two annual cycles, indicating consistent daily use rather than long periods of dormancy. The single failed test on 6 February 2023 at 81,418 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting the failure may have been administrative or a retest was completed cleanly eight days later on 14 February 2023 at the same mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection focused on high-mileage wear items. At nearly 154,000 miles, suspension components such as front lower arm bushes, rear beam bushings, and shock absorbers are well past the typical replacement window and should be checked for play, cracking, or fluid leakage. Brake discs, pads, and calipers merit close attention, as binding or uneven wear can develop between MOT intervals without triggering a failure. The exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter and flexi-joint, should be inspected for corrosion and emissions compliance given the mileage. Tyre condition and alignment should be verified, as high annual usage accelerates uneven wear. Finally, while no structural corrosion has been flagged, an underbody inspection is prudent on any twelve-year-old vehicle that has clocked this kind of mileage, paying particular attention to sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points where salt and road debris accumulate over time.
