2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SD13 ACJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-11-12 at 92,953 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-11-10 at the same mileage failed without any defects listed, raising questions about the accuracy of the records or potential technical issues during testing. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 show consistent passing results with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend in the longer term. The lack of recorded faults in recent tests implies no immediate mechanical or structural concerns, though the abrupt failure without explanation warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 92,953 miles at 13 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 7,150 miles, which is typical for its age. The 2024 test at 86,204 miles and the 2023 tests at 77,931 and 77,930 miles indicate steady, predictable mileage growth. Notably, the 2023 tests occurred within days of each other, with a one-mile discrepancy between the failed and passed results, which may reflect data entry errors or an unusual testing scenario. The absence of recurring defects across multiple tests suggests no systemic issues, though the 2025 failure without recorded faults remains unexplained. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity through a professional inspection, focusing on components likely to degrade over time, such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The lack of defects in MOT records does not eliminate the need for a hands-on check, particularly given the 2025 failure. Pay close attention to the rear brakes, as binding or uneven wear could manifest without triggering a fault. Additionally, inspect the chassis for corrosion, as older vehicles may develop rust in hidden areas. The MOT history shows no red flags, but the 2025 anomaly underscores the value of an independent assessment to confirm the car’s condition.
