2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · LB12 DHE

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 December 2024 at 70,455 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in November 2022, November 2023, and December 2024. Two failed tests on the same dates as later passes, at 55,154 miles in 2022 and 70,455 miles in 2024, closed with no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 70,455 over roughly fourteen years equates to about 5,032 miles per year, which is low for a 2012 supermini. The car gained 7,628 miles between the November 2022 test at 55,155 miles and the November 2023 test at 62,783 miles, then a further 7,672 miles to the December 2024 test at 70,455 miles. This even annual use with no gaps or sudden accumulation suggests steady light running, though low mileage paired with the same-day fail and pass entries warrants confirmation the vehicle was not laid up unused for long stretches. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained fail entries. The DVSA record flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns across the timeline. Verify the V5C and test certificates match the 70,455-mile odometer, since the twin entries on 25 November 2022 and 9 December 2024 hint at clerical anomalies rather than wear-driven failures. Previous keepers appear to have kept basic consumable upkeep current, with no advisories for tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers in any test. The clean sheet at the last examination supports a sound used purchase, subject to confirming those same-day failures were paperwork only.
