2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · SD12 UOL

The Vauxhall Corsa is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in May 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has achieved three consecutive passes over the last three years. While the most recent test identified minor defects related to a windscreen wiper blade and an inoperative registration lamp, these are simple consumable and electrical fixes rather than indicators of systemic mechanical failure. The vehicle's mileage is notably low for its 14-year age, averaging approximately 5,782 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between February 2022 and January 2023, where the car covered roughly 13,000 miles in eleven months. Since then, usage has moderated, with 12,867 miles covered in the last three years. This low overall mileage suggests the engine and drivetrain may have less wear than average compared to high-mileage counterparts. A potential buyer should pay close attention to the suspension components, as the history shows a fractured rear coil spring in early 2023. Although this was rectified, low-mileage cars often suffer from rubber components perishing over time irrespective of distance driven. It is advisable to inspect the underside for signs of corrosion or rust, ensuring that the long periods of sitting have not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis or the brake lines.
