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

This Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 93,099 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to March 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a fourteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,650 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2023 test at 80,191 miles and the April 2026 test at 93,099 miles shows steady, moderate usage without any erratic spikes or long periods of stagnation. A technical anomaly appears on 2 April 2024, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 86,356 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for either entry. The total absence of advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. Most Corsas from this era typically flag issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion on the rear subframe. Because the MOT history is devoid of these common warnings, the record suggests a high level of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody and wheel arches to check for surface corrosion that may not have reached a failure threshold. Checking the condition of the brake discs and tyre tread depth is advised, as these consumables are often replaced between tests and would not necessarily appear as defects in a clean MOT history.
