2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · LM12 THX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 129,769 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be stable following a period of intermittent testing failures. While the car failed tests in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects or advisories suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to bring the vehicle back to legal road standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,269 miles per year. The data shows a significant lull in usage between the 2023 test at 128,780 miles and the September 2024 test at 129,674 miles, representing only 894 miles covered over fourteen months. However, the vehicle has seen more consistent use recently, particularly between September 2024 and December 2025. This irregular pattern of use can sometimes lead to the premature degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely caused the recent failures, although the current record does not specify the exact mechanical reasons for those rejects. Given the age and mileage of this Corsa, a close examination of structural corrosion on the sills and subframe is essential. The inspector should also check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines, as these are common points of failure on this model as they approach the 130,000-mile mark.
