2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · WM66 AEP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 24 December 2025. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding successful tests, the absence of recorded defects during these failures suggests minor issues were rectified quickly. The most recent test at 66,327 miles shows no advisories or defects, indicating the vehicle was in a compliant state at the time of the last inspection. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,370 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 58,301 miles in January 2024 to 61,749 miles in January 2025, and finally reaching 66,327 miles by December 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally reduces the risk of perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. Because the MOT history lacks specific descriptions of the previous failures, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what required attention. However, the pattern of failing and then passing within 24 hours suggests minor consumable items or light adjustments were necessary. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs to ensure no underlying corrosion or wear has developed since the December 2025 test. Given the mileage and age, a thorough check of the timing belt and water pump is advisable if there is no documented service history to support their replacement. You should also inspect the underside for signs of structural corrosion and check the tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity. While the electronic record shows a clean bill of health, the lack of detailed failure data means a hands-on mechanical assessment remains necessary.
