2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · SB14 MTO

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 53,745 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the three-year record, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its June 2023 test at 47,132 miles, the June 2024 test at 50,775 miles, and the May 2025 test without defect. The recorded mileage of 53,745 over roughly twelve years equates to about 4,479 miles per year, which is low for a 2014 supermini. The annual increments are modest: 2,643 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, then 2,970 miles to May 2025. Two failed tests appear on consecutive days in both June 2024 and May 2025, yet the DVSA data shows no defects recorded on either failure, implying administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. Sparse, clean records limit deeper wear analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low use can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and exhaust components without showing in an MOT until advanced. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures, as repeated same-day fail-pass cycles often signal missed paperwork or unrecorded rectification. Check tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for perishing from inactivity. The absence of advisories across all tests suggests previous owners addressed items before presentation, but the record alone does not confirm underside condition or binding calipers.
