2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SL11 FXP

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 February 2026 at 53,713 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or unresolved defects under official inspection. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2011 registration, totalling 53,713 miles or roughly 3,581 miles per year. The DVSA entries show steady, light use: 24,440 miles at the January 2023 test, 32,555 at the February 2024 pass, 43,409 in January 2025, and 53,713 by February 2026. A failed test on 1 February 2024 at 32,545 miles is logged with no defects recorded, followed by a pass twelve days later at 32,555 miles; this suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component fault. The data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low annual mileage paired with a 15-year age implies the car may have stood for extended periods, which can degrade rubber suspension bushes, tyres, and brake caliper seals even when MOT tests show no fault. The February 2024 fail with zero defects warrants a check of the test failure reason to confirm it was paperwork or equipment related rather than a concealed defect. Given the absence of advisories on brake discs, exhaust, or structural integrity, the Corsa reads as a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint. Verify underbody condition for rust and confirm fluid intervals, as sparse use often masks deferred servicing not captured by MOT outcomes.
