2014 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · T21 DBE

This Vauxhall Corsa has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 2 September 2025 confirming full compliance at 109,756 miles. The absence of defects across the last two successful tests suggests no recurring mechanical failures, though the double test in June 2024—one pass and one fail at nearly identical mileages—indicates a brief anomaly rather than a systemic issue. The vehicle’s current MOT is just over nine months old, which is acceptable but leaves a window for minor wear to develop. No advisories or repeated failures on critical components appear in the record, though the lack of detailed defect descriptions means potential hidden issues cannot be ruled out without further inspection. The mileage progression of approximately 9,150 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without obvious signs of neglect or excessive wear. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans 11 months, covering 9,755 miles, which is consistent with regular driving patterns. The double testing in June 2024—just 11 days apart—may imply a minor oversight in pre-test preparation rather than a mechanical fault, as no defects were recorded on either occasion. There is no evidence of prolonged inactivity or rapid mileage accumulation, which would raise concerns about deferred maintenance. Given the lack of specific defect details in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points on this model. The brakes, including rear binding issues if previously noted, should be thoroughly checked for uneven wear or corrosion on the calipers and discs. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as this is a frequent concern for Corsas in the UK climate. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as the absence of failures does not preclude uneven wear or low tread depth from developing since the last test.
