2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · YK66 XBT

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 54,904 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, a clear administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024 at 50,517 miles, August 2023 at 42,819 miles, and December 2022 at 39,926 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the December 2022 test at 39,926 miles to the August 2023 test at 42,819 miles the car covered only 2,893 miles in eight months. By July 2024 it reached 50,517 miles, then 54,904 miles by May 2025, averaging roughly 5,490 miles per year overall. The sparse, clean record shows no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps, though low annual mileage can mask deterioration from prolonged standing such as perished rubber components or corroded brake surfaces. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low-use profile. The MOT history raises no recurring faults or structural integrity concerns, yet the same-day fail and pass in May 2025 warrants confirmation that no genuine defect was suppressed at retest. Examine exhaust emissions hardware and underbody corrosion points where moisture may have gathered during idle periods. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect on tyres, wipers, or consumables across the recorded tests. The absence of advisories across four successive certificates suggests either diligent pre-test preparation or a vehicle used too sparingly to expose wear.
