Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 December 2024 at 135,881 miles returned no defects or advisories. This follows a multi-year trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have been meeting the DVSA standard without recurring failures or escalating technical issues. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,152 miles per annum. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered 11,187 miles, which reflects steady usage patterns rather than long periods of stationary neglect. The only anomaly in the data occurred in December 2021, where the vehicle failed initially at 107,891 miles but passed successfully just five days later at nearly the same mileage. This suggests a minor, rectifyable fault was identified and corrected immediately by the previous owner. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on common points of failure for a Corsa of this era. At 135,881 miles, structural integrity is the primary concern, specifically checking the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion which often remains hidden before becoming a structural failure. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these components degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Since the record shows no recent advisories for brakes or tyres, checking the physical thickness of the discs and the depth of the tread is necessary to ensure maintenance has not diverged from the recorded test results.
