2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · PV61 FCL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 31 January 2024 at 87,705 miles, confirming it is roadworthy at the time of testing. Across the three recorded examinations the pattern is stable; no new major defects have appeared and earlier advisory items have not resurfaced. Mileage averages roughly 5,800 miles per year, which is low for a fifteen‑year‑old car and suggests light usage or periods of inactivity. The odometer rose from 65,763 miles on 25 January 2022 to 74,575 miles on 13 February 2023, an increase of 8,800 miles in just over a year, then to 87,705 miles by the January 2024 test, adding another 13,130 miles in less than twelve months. The acceleration remains modest, and the record shows no abrupt spikes or gaps that would indicate severe over‑use. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front tyre condition; the 2024 test flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit, echoing the off‑side front tyre warning from the 2023 test. The nearside obligatory mirror was noted as slightly loose in 2024, and the off‑side registration plate lamp failed in both 2023 and 2024, indicating a recurring lighting issue that warrants verification. The 2023 test recorded light misting of oil from the off‑side rear shock absorber, while the 2022 test highlighted play in both front top mounts, suggesting possible wear in suspension bushings or mounting points. Inspect the suspension for any excessive play, oil leakage from shock absorbers, and the condition of mounting bushes. Verify that all registration plate lamps operate correctly and that the nearside mirror is securely fitted. Confirm tyre tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and assess overall tyre wear for uneven patterns that could hint at alignment or suspension concerns. Although no brake or exhaust advisories appear, a visual check of brake discs, pads, and exhaust components remains prudent before final purchase.
