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 clean MOT record with no defects recorded across its last five tests, including a pass in February 2026 at 104,894 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and suggests conscientious upkeep. A single failure in February 2025 at 103,643 miles, also with no defects listed, is unusual but was swiftly resolved with a pass three days later, indicating a minor issue was addressed promptly. Overall, the vehicle appears roadworthy based on this history. The mileage of 104,894 miles over ten years equates to roughly 10,489 miles annually, which is typical for its age. However, the accumulation pattern has shifted recently. Between July 2024 and February 2026, the car covered only 6,494 miles, with a particularly low 1,251 miles in the final year. This reduced usage could indicate periods of standing, which may affect tyre condition, battery charge, and brake component freedom. Given the absence of recurring faults in the MOT history, a buyer should focus on inspecting items that typically wear on a 104,000-mile Corsa. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, brake discs for scoring or lip formation, and the exhaust system for corrosion. The unexplained failure without defects warrants a close review of service records to confirm consistent oil and filter changes. Check for structural rust, especially around sills and suspension mounting points, as this is a known area for corrosion on this model. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition are consumables that should be verified before purchase.
