2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · YR11 DHX

The 2011 Vauxhall Corsa is currently roadworthy, but its maintenance history reveals a distinct deterioration trend that warrants immediate attention. The most recent test on 2026-04-11 was a PASSED test at 83,601 miles, yet this is the first time the car has failed in over 12 months, indicating a clear worsening pattern rather than a stable one. The 2025-04-16 test was also a PASSED test at 81,300 miles, which is the only time the vehicle was passed within the last year, further confirming that the last passing test was significantly older than the current date. This sequence of failures suggests the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep for its age, particularly regarding suspension components and brake systems which are critical for safety. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 5,573 miles annually, which is low for a 2011 model but not low enough to justify a clean record. The gap between the most recent passing test and the failed test is notable, with the 2025-04-16 test occurring just 15 days after the 2025-04-09 failure. This rapid accumulation of miles without any passing test in the last year indicates a lack of proactive maintenance, likely due to the owner's infrequent driving or lack of a proper MOT history. The vehicle has not experienced a significant increase in wear on critical components like the suspension bushings, coil springs, or brake discs, which would typically lead to a more gradual decline. In conclusion, while the 2026-04-11 test passed, the 2025-04-09 failure indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained correctly for its age. A buyer should inspect the car in person immediately, focusing on the binding rear brakes and binding front brakes, as these are the most likely components to fail given the history. The car's structural integrity and suspension are also at risk, as the history of two failures in the past year without passing tests suggests that the vehicle may be prone to further damage if not serviced by a professional.
