2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · ND61 EZR

The MOT history for this 2012 Vauxhall Corsa shows a pattern of intermittent failures followed by successful retests. The most recent record from 22 May 2024 shows the vehicle passed after an initial failure on the same day. This pattern of failing and then passing on the same date was also observed during the 25 May 2023 test. While the vehicle has achieved passes in the last three annual cycles, the repeated failures suggest that specific mechanical or safety issues required rectification to meet minimum standards. The vehicle has covered 123,028 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,788 miles per year. This usage level is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data provided does not show any extreme fluctuations or periods of significant inactivity between the recorded tests. Because the MOT records for 2023 and 2024 list failures without detailing the specific defect codes, the exact nature of the previous mechanical issues remains unknown. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, including checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and examine the suspension components such as bushes and coil springs. Given the age and mileage, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and underside is also necessary to ensure the vehicle's integrity remains within legal limits. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
