2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SC12 LXY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 23 October 2024 at 118,929 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car consistently meets testing standards following immediate rectifications of previous failures. The pattern of a failure followed by a pass on the same day suggests the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical defects once identified by the tester, rather than allowing faults to persist or escalate through neglect. At 118,929 miles over fourteen years, the Corsa has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with 17,857 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 16,814 miles covered in the year leading up to the 2024 test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps maintain the integrity of seals and prevents fluid degradation. While the recent record shows no outstanding advisories or defects, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on components prone to wear at this high mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a close examination of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber is essential, as the MOT does not always catch minor play. The buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion and inspect the exhaust system for signs of structural rust, as these areas are common points of failure on Vauxhall models as they approach the six-figure mile mark.
