2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · KP12 AOD

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state following its most recent pass on 4 September 2025 at 73,579 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The car failed its last test on the same day due to a non-functional offside rear stop lamp, a simple electrical fault that was rectified immediately to achieve the pass. Low annual usage is evident, with the car averaging roughly 5,256 miles per year over its fourteen-year life. The mileage progression is consistent and linear, climbing from 69,674 miles in September 2022 to 73,579 miles by September 2025. This steady, low-volume usage suggests the car has not suffered from extreme long-term standing, but the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust. The tester flagged worn, pitted, and lipped front brake discs and thin inner pads in both September 2022 and September 2023. The absence of these advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests they were eventually replaced, but a check for current disc thickness is prudent. The rear exhaust silencer has been flagged as corroded in every test from September 2022 through September 2024, indicating a persistent issue that the owner may have ignored. Attention must also be paid to the rear tyres and wheel alignment. The offside rear tyre was flagged for inner edge wear and tread depth issues in September 2022, 2023, and 2024. This recurring pattern of inner edge wear strongly suggests a tracking or camber issue with the rear axle. A professional alignment check is recommended to ensure the vehicle is not prematurely scrubbing through rubber.
