2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · WV62 VZB

The vehicle appears to be in a stable state of roadworthiness following its most recent pass on 4 August 2025 at 58,564 miles, which showed no defects. This follows a period of minor mechanical and consumable issues that have since been addressed. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, moving from a failed test in May 2022 to a clean certificate in the most recent inspection. The recorded mileage of 58,564 over approximately 14 years averages roughly 4,183 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting light usage or long periods of inactivity. The mileage progression remains consistent, with the 2024 test at 57,154 miles and the 2023 test at 55,402 miles showing steady, incremental use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to degradation in rubber components due to age rather than distance. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre-related advisories and failures. Between May 2022 and May 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged tyres that were either worn close to the legal limit, damaged, or perishing. The failure in May 2022 also identified an excessively worn offside front upper Macpherson strut pin or bush. Although these issues appear resolved in the 2025 record, a buyer should inspect the current condition of all four tyres for sidewall cracking or uneven wear, which often accompanies low-mileage vehicles that sit idle. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking systems. The 2016 record noted thin nearside front brake pads, and the 2022 failure highlighted suspension bush wear. While the recent results are clean, the history of tyre edge wear and strut component issues warrants a close check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of play or leaks. Additionally, ensure the braking system is free from binding or uneven pad wear given the previous mentions of consumable depletion.
