2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · J6 RYX

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test, with a pass recorded on 30 December 2025 at 137,159 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The December 2025 pass followed a same-day failure that listed no defects, a pattern repeated on 4 December 2024 when a failure at 122,524 miles with no defects preceded a pass at 122,526 miles. These administrative failures without recorded faults suggest clerical or process issues at the testing station rather than worsening vehicle condition. Mileage accumulation sits high for a 2016 registration, averaging roughly 13,716 miles per year against the 137,159 total. The record shows steady annual use: 108,178 miles at the December 2023 test, rising to 122,526 by December 2024 and 137,159 by December 2025. That equates to about 14,000 miles added in each intervening year, with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The data is sparse, covering only three years, but every entry is clean of advisories, implying the previous owners kept basic consumable wear within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and ten-year age, as the MOT record does not capture wear below failure thresholds. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant physical checks, particularly around sills and subframes where Vauxhall Corsas of this era degrade. The repeated no-defect failures on test day mean the DVSA system holds no advisory trail, so pre-purchase scrutiny of tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions must be hands-on rather than document-led.
