2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · ML12 BTO

The 2026-01-27 MOT passed at 87,339 miles, but the 2026-01-26 test immediately preceding it failed, indicating a significant deterioration in the vehicle's condition that has not been resolved. This suggests that while the vehicle currently meets the 87,339-mile threshold, the maintenance trend is likely worsening rather than stable. The most recent failure occurred in early January 2026, which is approximately 1.5 months before the current date of 2026-06-18, placing the failure at a very recent date relative to the current assessment. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of recorded miles over a short period. The 2026-01-26 failure occurred at 87,339 miles, followed by a 2025-01-11 test at 79,841 miles, and a 2024-01-29 failure at 77,196 miles. This rapid sequence of failures suggests that the vehicle has likely accumulated wear on critical components like brakes and suspension bushings without regular maintenance. The gap between the 2026-01-27 pass and the 2026-01-26 failure indicates that the vehicle has been in driving conditions where significant wear was not addressed, likely due to a lack of regular servicing or oil changes. Consequently, the vehicle's structural integrity and mechanical components appear to be in a state of decline. The 2026-01-26 failure includes a fractured or broken coil spring, an incorrect direction indicator, and a nearside rear tyre that has cracked or perished within the tread area. These defects, combined with the 2026-01-27 pass which failed to address the same issues in a timely manner, indicate that the vehicle has not been serviced to maintain its mechanical function. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the coil spring, direction indicators, and the state of the nearside rear tyre, as these components are the most likely to fail if the vehicle is driven for extended periods without regular checks.
