2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · TH07 ANE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT in September 2025 at 107,023 miles. This recent result shows a trend of improvement following a period of mechanical decline in late 2024. While the November 2024 test resulted in multiple failures related to steering and suspension de-gradation, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the critical failures, including the track rod end covers and suspension components. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 89,262 miles and November 2024 at 101,335 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles, showing steady driving habits. The most recent 5,688 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggest regular use, which generally helps keep rubber components and seals from seizing. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the record shows persistent corrosion on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms dating back to 2023. Although the 2025 test reported no defects, the previous play in the nearside upper suspension mounting is a recurring issue that should be checked for signs of wear. The buyer should also inspect the exhaust mounting bracket, which was noted as having rusted away in 2023, as this can lead to excessive vibration or structural failure if left unaddressed.
