2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SA63 GHV

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 43,986 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows consistently low annual use for a 2013 registration. From the 17 September 2022 test at 36,653 miles to the 4 September 2024 test at 41,602 miles, the car covered just 4,949 miles across two years. By the 17 September 2025 test it had reached 43,986 miles, averaging roughly 3,384 miles per year overall. The DVSA data contains a duplicate entry for 19 September 2023 showing both a fail and a pass at 39,337 miles with no defects listed on either, which points to an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Low mileage combined with the 19 September 2023 duplicate failure entry means the tester may not have probed structural integrity or binding calipers under load. Standing periods implied by the low annual coverage can allow moisture ingress and surface corrosion on sills and subframes even where the tester logged nothing. Check the coil springs, suspension arms, and brake calipers for stiffness from disuse, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not perished from age rather than wear. The absence of recorded faults reflects test-day condition only, not a guarantee of component life beyond the 2025 examination.
