2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · MA10 WOU

The recent MOT test on 2025-12-20 at 111,884 miles yielded a clean pass with no defects, indicating a stable and satisfactory roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend is consistently positive, with no recurring faults or advisories recorded throughout the documented history. A failed test did occur on 2023-12-06 at 89,152 miles, but the vehicle passed on the same day, suggesting a minor issue was rectified immediately. Since then, two consecutive passes confirm the mechanical integrity is currently sound. Accumulating 111,884 miles over sixteen years results in an average annual mileage of roughly 6,993 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows steady, incremental use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage accumulation. Between the December 2022 test at 87,838 miles and the November 2024 test at 95,133 miles, the vehicle covered just over 7,000 miles in two years, reinforcing a pattern of light, regular use. The most recent test in December 2025 is reasonably current, leaving a six-month interval where only minimal mileage has likely been added. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on common wear areas for the Vauxhall Corsa. The suspension components, including front suspension lower arm bushes and rear trailing arm mounts, require close scrutiny for deterioration, as these typically degrade on older examples regardless of MOT defect listings. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the vehicle's age. Inspect the underbody, sills, and wheel arches for corrosion, as structural rust remains a persistent risk on aging superminis. Tyre condition and uneven wear patterns can reveal hidden suspension misalignment not captured during a stationary MOT check.
