AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 141,609 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests over the last three years. While the record shows failures on 2 April 2026 and 26 March 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or very minor issues rectified immediately. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 10,115 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 7 March 2024 and 3 April 2025, where the odometer rose from 117,085 to 132,871 miles. This period of higher activity aligns with standard commuting patterns and does not indicate any irregular usage. The absence of advisories across multiple tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should personally inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for Corsas that the record does not highlight. Check the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes to ensure they have been replaced as consumables, rather than simply passing the minimum legal threshold. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacement. The clean MOT record indicates the car meets minimum legal standards, but it does not confirm the preventative maintenance required to sustain a high-mileage engine. Focus on checking for oil leaks and ensuring the exhaust system remains secure.
