2020 Vauxhall Corsa SE 1.2L Petrol · WD69 WHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing result in January 2026, though the maintenance trend shows a recent instability marked by a mechanical failure just two days prior to that pass. On January 3, 2026, at 51,601 miles, the Corsa failed due to emission irregularities, specifically high carbon monoxide levels and an incorrect Lambda reading. The fact that the vehicle passed two days later at the same mileage suggests the sensor or fueling issue was rectified immediately. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between the December 2022 test at 37,856 miles and the January 2025 test at 46,444 miles, the car covered roughly 4,300 miles annually, indicating light habits. The recent jump of 5,157 miles between January 2025 and January 2026 maintains this consistent rate, which prevents premature degradation of suspension and drivetrain components. A buyer should focus specifically on the exhaust system to ensure the emission failure in January 2026 was not a symptom of a deeper fault like a leaking oxygen sensor or a failing catalytic converter. While the history is clean of structural corrosion or brake advisories, the offside rear tyre advisory from early 2025 indicates a need for basic rubber maintenance. A physical inspection of the exhaust manifold and sensors for soot or soot is necessary to confirm that the recent emission issues are fully resolved.
