2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · SP60 MVH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing. While it passed its latest MOT on 13 August 2025 at 166,296 miles with no recorded defects, the history shows a curious failure just one week prior on 6 August 2025 at 165,539 miles. This immediate failure and subsequent retest suggest a minor mechanical adjustment or a specific consumable failure that was rectified quickly before the second test, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural decay. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between December 2021 and May 2023, where the car covered only 2,242 miles over 17 months. However, usage increased significantly thereafter, with 15,931 miles covered between May 2023 and August 2025. This surge in mileage indicates the vehicle is currently in active, daily use, which places consistent demand on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. Given the lack of any recorded advisories across the last four years, the vehicle appears well-maintained in terms of regulatory compliance. However, at over 166,000 miles, a buyer must physically inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as these are common failure points for this model. The buyer should also check the condition of the suspension bushes and the thickness of the brake discs, as the MOT record does not capture the gradual wear of these components between tests.
