2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SD12 ADV

The 2012 Vauxhall Corsa demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 confirming no defects at 108,791 miles. Previous tests from 2025 and 2024 show mixed outcomes, including a failed MOT on 2025-01-27 at 106,067 miles, though no defects were recorded. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the prior failure without recorded defects warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 108,791 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 7,771 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. A notable gap between the 2024-01-17 test (102,943 miles) and the subsequent 2025-01-28 test (106,069 miles) indicates a 3,126-mile increase over 12 months, slightly below the annual average. This suggests periods of reduced activity, which may affect components like suspension bushes or brake discs if left stationary for extended durations. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, limiting insight into specific maintenance priorities. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate degradation. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the 2025 failure implies potential issues with caliper binding or disc corrosion that may require closer examination. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion in underbody components could go undetected in MOT records. Regular servicing and proactive checks on these areas would be prudent to ensure long-term reliability.
