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

This Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 5 September 2025 at 70,700 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids chronic mechanical failure. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,892 miles per year. Between 11 September 2023 and 5 September 2025, the odometer rose from 61,100 to 70,700 miles. This steady accumulation of approximately 4,800 miles per annum indicates regular, light use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT record is unusually sparse regarding faults. While the vehicle failed on the same day it passed in both September 2023 and September 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly on site. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, nor any flags for structural corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always trigger MOT failures but degrade with age. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting. Given the low mileage, verify that the tyre treads are not hardened or cracked due to age, even if the depth remains legal.

Our Verdict

A solid option for a small petrol hatchb

When inspecting this specific Red Corsa, focus on verifying the service intervals, as the mileage is considerably higher than the aggregate average for this model. While the most recent MOT was clean, the previous failures suggest that components like lights or suspension elements may require attention periodically.

Negotiate based on the mileage; since this vehicle has covered roughly 70,700 miles in 12 years, it has been driven much more than the typical 5,753 miles per year. Ask for evidence of recent brake and tyre replacements, as well as any records relating to the previous MOT failures to ensure they were addressed correctly.

As a 1229cc petrol engine, this Corsa falls into a relatively economical bracket for urban driving. Tax and insurance groups for this specification are typically moderate, making it an accessible choice for newer drivers or commuters.

Maintenance costs should be considered in line with a high-mileage vehicle. While parts for Vauxhall Corsas are widely available and generally affordable, you should budget for more frequent consumable replacements (tyres, pads, discs) due to the higher-than-average annual mileage.

Given the model's aggregate failure data, pay close attention to the headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints during your test drive. Even though the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, these are common points of failure for the Corsa range.

Check the suspension for any knocking sounds over bumps and ensure all exterior lighting is fully operational. Because this vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the average, also inspect the condition of the drive belt and check for any signs of fluid leaks around the 1.2L engine.

This 2014 Vauxhall Corsa (MD14AEU) is a 1.2L petrol model with 70,700 miles on the clock. While it has experienced two MOT failures in its recent history (2023 and 2024), the most recent test in September 2025 showed no defects. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,753 miles per year, reflecting a more active usage pattern.

Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures linked to headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
