2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · WV62 DXG

The 2025‑05‑14 MOT at 133,659 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an oil leak, light misting of oil on the near‑side front shock absorbers, play in the steering rack inner joint, a product on the near‑side front headlamp lens, a cracked near‑side rear tyre, and a non‑functional daytime running light. These recurring advisories on suspension, steering and tyre condition indicate a stable but concerning wear pattern that has not improved over recent tests. Mileage has risen from 46,930 miles in 2015 to 133,659 miles in 2025, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 14‑year age and typical usage for a car of this class. Gaps appear in the record, notably the absence of a 2018 entry and two tests conducted on the same day in May 2023, yet the overall accumulation remains steady and consistent with normal annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should therefore examine the near‑side front shock absorbers and steering rack inner joint for leakage or excessive play, inspect the condition of the front and rear brake pads and discs, and verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as the history shows repeated perishing and worn tyres. Additional attention to the registration plate lamp, daytime running light, constant‑velocity joint boots, and any signs of structural rust or oil contamination is advisable. While the latest test confers legal roadworthiness, the concentration of advisories on suspension, braking and tyre components suggests that deferred maintenance may have allowed wear to accumulate; a detailed physical inspection of these items is essential before committing to purchase.
