2022 Vauxhall Corsa Ultimate Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · ST72 OBB

The vehicle passed its only recorded MOT test on 29 October 2025, presenting a clean result with no advisories or defects entered against the inspection. A single pass provides limited longitudinal evidence, but the most recent outcome is positive and the absence of any flagged items at the time of testing represents a stable, if unverified, roadworthiness position. The next statutory test is not due until October 2026, leaving approximately ten months of unrecorded mechanical history before today's date. Against an age of roughly four years, the recorded odometer reading of 5,100 miles equates to an average annual mileage of around 1,275 miles, which is exceptionally low for a modern petrol-engined city car. The MOT history contains a single entry covering only the most recent twelve-month period, with no earlier tests captured despite the vehicle being first registered in 2022. This sparse dataset means the MOT file cannot evidence what occurred during the first three years of the car's life, and the very low mileage raises the separate concern of prolonged standing periods, which can promote brake caliper seizure, corrosion under the bodywork, tyre flat-spotting or sidewall degradation, and drying of rubber seals. A prospective buyer should not rely on the clean MOT line alone. In-person checks should concentrate on the brake system, including free movement of the calipers and the surface condition of the discs, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer binding or corroded rear calipers. The tyres warrant close inspection for age-related cracking, uneven pressure wear from long static periods, and confirmation that they remain within legal tread depth despite appearing barely worn. An examination underneath the car for underfloor corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and brake line runs, is advisable given the limited road use. Equally important is verification of the engine and drivetrain through a cold-start observation, listening for timing chain or auxiliary drive noise, and checking the automatic transmission for smooth gear engagement. The exhaust system, including the catalyst and undertray fasteners, should be inspected for corrosion at the joints, and the fluid levels — oil, coolant, and brake fluid — should be confirmed as fresh, as low annual mileage often coincides with extended service intervals being missed. Finally, a paid data check through a reputable provider is recommended to confirm mileage consistency and uncover any history not present in the MOT file.
