2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · WN62 AAY

The Vauxhall Corsa shows a fully clear roadworthiness status, with the most recent DVSA test on 26 August 2025 at 43,105 miles returning a pass and no defects. Maintenance trend is stable. In the August 2024 examination at 40,773 miles, the tester again recorded no advisories. The same outcome occurred in August 2023 at 37,776 miles, August 2022 at 35,149 miles, and August 2021 at 33,548 miles. Five consecutive passes without a single flagged item demonstrate consistent statutory compliance. This 2012 hatchback has covered just 43,105 miles in roughly fourteen years, an average of 3,079 miles per year. The mileage stepped up by modest amounts each summer, never exceeding 3,300 miles between tests. No gaps appear in the testing cycle. Such low annual use points to short local journeys or extended periods off the road. The clean sheets across these intervals suggest the former keeper booked timely tests and rectified any trivial wear before presentation, though light usage can leave mechanical parts under-stressed rather than worn. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and standing time. The MOT record cites no corrosion or structural integrity issues, but trapped moisture during storage may attack sills and subframes unseen in a daylight test. Check for binding calipers and hardened rubber gaiters, as infrequent rotation promotes seized sliders and perished seals. Verify exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition, since low mileage often masks cracking rather than tread loss. The absence of advisories does not exempt the Corsa from age-related degradation.
