2015 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SW65 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent October 2025 test at 4,299 miles. Following a failure in 2023, the car has completed two consecutive annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that whatever mechanical or emissions issue triggered the failure two years ago was addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a baseline operational standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 391 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 625 miles, indicating a pattern of long-term storage or very infrequent use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it often introduces risks associated with vehicles sitting for extended periods. The consistent annual testing intervals show the owner has kept the vehicle legal for the road, though the physical distance traveled between tests is de minimis. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components affected by long-term inactivity. Low mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers, flat-spotted, and perished rubber components such as suspension bushes or split hoses. Given the lack of advisories regarding corrosion or tyre wear, the structural integrity appears sound, but the tester should check for surface rust on brake discs and fluid degradation due to age. The buyer should also verify the age of the tyres and fluids, as chemical breakdown occurs over time regardless of the mileage recorded.
