2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · YR12 AEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 May 2025 at 87,280 miles. This test was completed with no defects recorded. While the record shows two failures on 21 January 2025 and 19 May 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these may have been administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the test. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,234 miles per year. Between 13 December 2022 and 19 December 2023, the car covered 2,104 miles. A significant drop in usage occurred between December 2023 and May 2025, where the vehicle covered only 1,106 miles over approximately 17 months. This period of relative inactivity can sometimes lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of this recent low-usage period. Check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers and inspect the tyre sidewalls for flat spots or cracking. While the MOT history is remarkably clean of mechanical advisories, a 14 year old Corsa typically requires scrutiny of the rear suspension bushes and the structural integrity of the sills and chassis for corrosion. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes were maintained during the period of low mileage. The absence of any recorded faults over the last three years is positive, but a manual check of the fluid levels and a road test to confirm the absence of suspension knocks will provide a complete picture of the car's current state.
