2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · PY12 LCT

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 March 2026 at 112,183 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car meets the minimum legal standards. While the history shows a failure in April 2024, the subsequent two annual passes without any advisories suggest that any identified issues were addressed and have not recurred. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 90,662 miles and March 2026 at 112,183 miles, the car covered over 21,500 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,000 miles annually. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which is often beneficial for mechanical seals and braking components compared to cars that spend long periods sitting stationary. Despite the clean state of the recent MOT records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Corsa of this age and mileage. Given the mileage exceeds the 100,000-mile threshold, close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary as these components often degrade at this stage. One should also check for surface corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a point of significant failure.
