2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SA18 AAY

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 16 December 2025 at 60,811 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The tester recorded no defects at that examination. The vehicle cleared every pass test without advisories, and the lone failure on 13 December 2025 at 60,803 miles listed no defects, indicating the rejection stemmed from a non-itemised administrative or presentation matter rather than a mechanical fault corrected before the subsequent pass three days later. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,600 miles per year against the car's eight-year age, a typical usage rate for a 2018 supermini. The records show 29,323 miles in August 2022, 38,238 in August 2023, 47,617 in December 2024, and 60,811 by December 2025. The step from 38,238 to 47,617 reflects about 9,400 miles in sixteen months, then 13,194 miles in the following twelve months, a mild acceleration but no abnormal accumulation. A fourteen-month gap separates the August 2023 and December 2024 tests, yet both passed cleanly with no advisories logged. The absence of any recorded advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five examinations suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a basic standard. No recurring wear trends emerge from the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and confirm the tyres fitted match the recorded clean status, since the MOT sheets flag none of these. Given the unexplained December 2025 failure with zero defects cited, the buyer ought to obtain the full DVSA failure reason from the selling garage. The clean pass three days later implies resolution, but documentary confirmation protects against a repeated administrative rejection at point of sale.
