2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · WV63 FMD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of immediate re-test failures. The most recent inspection on 24 June 2025 at 138,273 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure earlier on the same day. This pattern suggests the owner is willing to rectify identified faults immediately to maintain compliance, and the vehicle has consistently met the minimum legal safety standards over the last three testing cycles. The mileage progression remains consistent with typical UK usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles annually. Between the January 2023 test at 130,954 miles and the June 2025 test at 138,273 miles, the car covered 7,319 miles. This indicates a steady rate of use which likely prevents the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. The 1,200-mile gap between the January 2024 and 2025 tests confirms a predictable operational schedule without unexplained intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in January 2024 and June 2025, as the record does not list the specific defect codes. Given the age, these failures likely involved consumable items such as bulbs, tyres, or minor exhaust leaks. Considering the high mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential to ensure no deep-seated wear is developing between annual MOT intervals.
