2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · VX16 FHA

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 5 December 2024 at 145,233 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with every annual examination either passing or, in one instance, failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening condition across the five-year span of records. Mileage stands at 145,233 against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 14,500 miles per year and placing this car above typical usage for its class. The records show steady accumulation: 105,058 miles in August 2021, 121,439 by July 2022, 139,912 in October 2023, then 145,233 at the close of 2024. A gap of fourteen months separates the 2023 and 2024 tests, though the 5,321 miles covered in that period remains consistent with prior annual rates. No standing periods or abrupt jumps appear in the data. The only blemish is the failure on 3 December 2024 at 145,207 miles, logged with no defects recorded. This points to a documentation or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, and the car passed two days later at nearly identical mileage. The clean sheet across all tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, with no flags for tyre tread, brake discs, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the usual high-mileage wear points. At 145,000 miles the coil springs, track-rod ends, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks despite the absence of advisories. Examine underside structural integrity for corrosion and confirm the cambelt interval against Vauxhall schedule, as the MOT record does not capture internal drivetrain maintenance.
