2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SC10 ABK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass on 20 December 2025 at 134,158 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows three consecutive years of defect-free inspections. While the vehicle failed its initial attempts in both 2024 and 2025, the absence of recorded failure items suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural oversights rather than mechanical faults. The car demonstrates a consistent standard of compliance over the last three years. Annual mileage accumulation remains steady, averaging approximately 5,000 to 8,500 miles per year between December 2023 and December 2025. This rate of use is well within expected parameters for a 16-year-old Vauxhall Corsa and indicates the car has seen regular, moderate usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The lack of advisory items across these tests is statistically unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests that previous owners have addressed wear-and-tear items promptly before they reached the point of failure. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and mechanical sub-frames. The MOT test is a minimum safety standard and does not account for age-related degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, or CV joint gaiters, which often perish on Corsas of this vintage. You should specifically check the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common consumables that may not have been flagged during the most recent test. Verify the integrity of the exhaust system and check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block or gearbox, as these areas fall outside the scope of a standard MOT check but are critical for long-term reliability.
