Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle currently holds a valid pass from the 2 October 2025 test at 66,835 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend across its recent history. Earlier, the Corsa passed on 17 September 2024 at 58,723 miles, again showing no faults. Two anomalous entries show failures on 2 September 2023 at 54,183 miles and 16 September 2024 at 58,723 miles, yet the tester logged no defects on either occasion; the same-day passes indicate administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical deficiency. Mileage reads 66,835 against a 2012 build, averaging near 4,774 miles per year. The record charts steady low use: 54,183 miles in September 2023, 58,723 by September 2024, and 66,835 by October 2025. No rapid accumulation or missing intervals appear in the DVSA timeline. The clean defect list across four examinations suggests previous owners kept consumable wear and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection beneath the shell. Fourteen years of age permits corrosion to sills and subframes even when MOT advisories stay absent. The tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, but perished rubber and binding calipers can evade a cursory examination. Check tyre sidewalls and wiper blades as minor items, then prioritise structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounts.
