2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SW12 HYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of neglect regarding consumable components. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 100,690 miles, the report reveals a significant number of advisories related to braking performance and tyres. The presence of fluctuating service brakes across all four wheels alongside pitted and scored discs indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life and requires attention. At 100,690 miles, the Corsa has averaged approximately 7,200 miles per year over its fourteen-year lifespan, which is consistent with typical light road use. The data shows steady progression between 2022 and 2025, with only about 9,200 miles covered in the last three years. However, the low annual mileage has not prevented age-related degradation, as evidenced by the perishing of tyres and the deterioration of the door hinges noted in the 2023 tests. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the recurring reports of fluctuating pressure and worn discs suggest the drums or rotors may be warped or thin. The engine oil leak and radiator coolant leak identified in 2024 must be verified to ensure they have been rectified and are not escalating into major failures. Additionally, the physical condition of the driver's door hinges and the state of the tyres should be checked for structural integrity beyond the minor advisories provided in the records.
