2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · HT16 BHP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent inspection. Although the record shows a failure on 2 December 2025 at 106,278 miles, the immediate pass with no defects recorded on the same day suggests a minor, rectified issue or an administrative error in the filing rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since the 2022 test, the car has consistently maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories or failure points. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a small hatchback, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 70,862 miles and December 2024 at 92,244 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles showing steady operation. The recent jump of 14,034 miles between December 2024 and December 2025 indicates the vehicle remains in regular use, which generally helps prevent the rubber perishation and brake corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage-related components, as the vehicle has now crossed the 100,000-mile threshold. Despite the clean MOT history, the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs is critical as these often degrade at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the brake discs for thinning and the caliper seals for binding is prudent, though the record has not previously flagged these specific issues. Structural integrity remains a positive based on the lack of corrosion advisories in the last three years.
