2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · ST60 AEL

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 2 August 2025 at 123,300 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a presently road‑worthy condition. Earlier failures have been limited to tyre wear, minor suspension bush wear and a few lighting faults, and those items have either been rectified or remain within advisory limits, suggesting a generally stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 75,389 miles in May 2019 to 123,300 miles in August 2025, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year – a figure typical for a car of this age. The incremental increases of 9,500 miles between May 2019 and November 2020, 10,800 miles to July 2022, and 13,900 miles to July 2023 reflect consistent use without prolonged idle periods, while the more modest 4,900 mile rise to the latest test points to a recent slowdown in mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should focus on the front suspension and sub‑frame areas where the MOT notes indicate worn MacPherson strut pins and corroded lower arms. Visual inspection for rust progression on the front sub‑frame, as well as a tactile check of the strut bushings, will confirm whether the advisory wear has advanced. The off‑side rear shock absorber displayed light oil misting in 2022, so a close look for fresh leaks or excessive oil on the shock body is warranted. Front tyre tread should be measured against the legal limit, given the 2023 warning of edge wear, and the brake system merits a thickness check on pads and discs, especially the near‑side front pads that were under 1.5 mm in 2015. Finally, verify that all registration plate lamps and the off‑side headlamp are correctly aimed and functional, as past failures in these areas have required remedial work.
