2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · MM60 BYP

The 2011 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 3 July 2025 at 111,868 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has now delivered four consecutive passes since a failure on 20 August 2021 at 91,198 miles, which itself recorded no defects, suggesting the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. The most recent test, conducted just under twelve months ago, confirms the car met all roadworthiness standards at its current terminal mileage. The mileage profile is broadly typical for a fifteen-year-old supermini, averaging roughly 7,458 miles per year across its life. The annualised figure masks a notable gap between the October 2022 test at 91,272 miles and the July 2023 test at 92,112 miles, a span of nine months yielding only 840 miles. This indicates a period of very light use or possible standing. From July 2023 onward, the car resumed a more regular pattern, covering approximately 8,330 miles per year through to the July 2025 test. No rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps appear in the record. With no recurring mechanical or structural defects flagged across five tests, the history does not point to any persistent fault pattern in suspension, braking, or emissions systems. A buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and sills, as salt exposure over fifteen years can degrade structural integrity even when MOT standards are met. Tyre condition and brake component wear deserve attention given the recent mileage uptick, and a road test should confirm there is no clutch slip or gearbox noise consistent with a car approaching 112,000 miles. The clean record suggests attentive prior ownership, but age-related deterioration can develop between tests and warrants a thorough in-person inspection.
