2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · YR12 ABO

The vehicle shows a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance trend based on the available data. The most recent test on 14 July 2022 at 133,057 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2018, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been sparingly used for short, low-stress journeys. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. Between 31 August 2018 at 96,690 miles and 14 July 2022 at 133,057 miles, the vehicle covered 36,367 miles over nearly four years. This averages to roughly 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for a 2012 model. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or periods of prolonged standing that would suggest neglect or hidden mechanical degradation. A significant concern for a buyer is the current date of 18 July 2026. The MOT record ends in July 2022, meaning the vehicle has no recorded roadworthiness certification for the last four years. This gap is critical. A car sitting idle for years often develops seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. If the car has been driven without tests, it is currently illegal to use on public roads. A physical inspection must prioritise the chassis and suspension components. While the 2018 to 2022 records show no structural corrosion or suspension bush failure, the four-year absence of data makes these high-risk areas. Check for rust on the sills and subframes and inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion. Verify that the engine oil and coolant have been changed recently, as fluids degrade over time regardless of mileage.
