2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · PY61 BYD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑03‑09 at 122,342 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend shows improvement after a failure in March 2024 at 95,394 miles, when the front suspension arm ball joint, front sub‑frame corrosion and anti‑roll bar ball joint play were flagged. Subsequent tests in March 2024, April 2025 and March 2026 have all returned passes, indicating those issues were resolved and no new faults have emerged. Between January 2020 (67,394 miles) and March 2026 the mileage increased to 122,342 miles, an average of roughly 8,800 miles per year—slightly above the typical 8,156 miles for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The MOT record is dense, with tests performed roughly every 12‑13 months and no significant gaps. The data shows a pattern of annual scrutiny, with occasional failures that were promptly addressed. A buyer should inspect the front suspension assembly for worn ball joints and any corrosion of the front sub‑frame, as the 2024 failure highlighted excessive wear and structural weakening. The anti‑roll bar ball joint must be checked for play, and the front brake discs examined for scoring or pitting, given the advisories logged in March 2023. The coil spring condition, brake pedal anti‑slip provision and all lighting circuits (registration plate lamp, stop lamps, wiper operation) were previously defective and merit functional verification. Finally, tyre tread depths and signs of rust on the front sub‑frame should be assessed, reflecting the tyre failures noted in 2017 and the earlier corrosion episode.
