AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 30 April 2026 at 74,635 miles, though four advisories were recorded on that test. Looking at the broader pattern across the four recorded tests from 2023 to 2026, the trend is one of accumulating advisories rather than clean bills of health. The 2023 test at an unspecified mileage recorded no defects, but every subsequent test has produced tyre-related advisories, indicating either consistent marginal tread wear or neglect of tyre condition between tests. Annual mileage is notably high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,439 miles per year based on the recorded odometer reading. The gap between the 2024 test and the 2025 test is unrecorded in terms of mileage, but the vehicle added approximately 10,000 to 12,000 miles between mid-2025 and April 2026 if a steady rate of accumulation is assumed. This rate of use accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, which is consistent with the advisory pattern seen across the record. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the front tyres and brake components. Front tyre tread has been flagged as worn close to the legal limit at both the 2024 and 2026 tests, suggesting either rapid shoulder wear potentially linked to tracking or suspension geometry issues, or repeated failure to replace tyres promptly. The 2026 test also recorded front brake pads wearing thin, and combined with the 2025 advisories on rear tyre cracking and perishing, the braking and tyre systems warrant close physical inspection. The rear tyres should be checked for sidewall integrity given the deterioration noted in 2025, and the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel alignment should be examined for any uneven wear pattern that might explain the recurring edge wear on the front tyres. Overall, the record shows no structural or safety failures, but the persistent pattern of tyre and brake advisories suggests components are being run close to their service limits. The advisory items on the most recent test should be addressed promptly, and a buyer should budget for replacement of all four tyres and the front brake pads in the near term. Risk Level: Medium. Buying Score: 55.

Our Verdict

This Vauxhall Corsa SE Premium is a solid consideration for buyers seeking a relatively recent petrol hatchback. The clean MOT history across the last three years suggests a consistent pass rate for this specific vehicle.

When inspecting this Corsa, focus on the higher-than-average mileage. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should verify the service intervals to ensure the 1.2L engine has been regularly maintained. Ask for evidence of oil changes, as high-mileage small engines rely heavily on consistent lubrication.

Check the condition of the exterior and interior, specifically looking for wear on the driver's seat and steering wheel which may reflect the 64,740 miles covered. Since the model aggregate data highlights windscreen wipers and engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issues as common failure points, test these components thoroughly during your test drive.

As a 1.2L petrol model, this Corsa is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban driving and commuting. It typically falls into a manageable insurance group and tax band, though you should check the specific group for this SE Premium trim.

Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, but with the mileage now exceeding 60,000, you should budget for typical wear-and-tear items such as tyres, brake pads, and potentially suspension components. The estimated annual running cost is moderate for a small petrol car.

Pay close attention to the electrical components and visibility aids. Given that the aggregate data for this model shows windscreen wipers and engine MIL inoperative as top failure reasons, ensure the wipers clear the screen effectively and that no warning lights remain illuminated on the dashboard.

Additionally, inspect the tyres and brakes. Although the MOT records for LS20NHL show no defects, the vehicle's mileage is significantly above the 7,249-mile annual average, meaning wear items may be approaching the end of their service life.

Registered in July 2020, this blue 1.2L petrol Corsa has covered 64,740 miles as of its last MOT in May 2025. While its mileage is higher than the model average of 7,249 miles per year, the vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record with no defects or advisories noted in its recent history. It represents a higher-mileage example of a modern, small-engine hatchback.

Aggregate data for this model shows an 88% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to windscreen wipers and engine warning lights.
