2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SB62 FBL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 10 January 2025 at 109,301 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a clean pass in January 2024 at 97,865 miles, suggesting that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided immediate mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 11,000 miles between December 2021 and January 2023, which represents a period of higher usage. However, the vehicle covered roughly 11,400 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. The failure recorded in December 2023 occurred just one mile after the previous test, suggesting a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the subsequent successful test. Despite the clean record in recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common points of failure for this generation of Corsa. Given the age and mileage, close inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential as these areas often develop rust. The buyer should also check for wear on suspension bushes and signs of leaking brake calipers, as the MOT does not test these components until they reach a failure threshold. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, but it does not account for the degradation of rubber components or fluid quality over time.
