2009 VAUXHALL CORSA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent history. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 88,808 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, though a single failure in September 2023 suggests that the owner is proactively addressing necessary repairs to maintain a passing status. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,224 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage intervals, such as the 3,957 miles driven between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 2,670 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or seizure in braking systems which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floorpan, as older Vauxhall Corsas are prone to corrosion that can bypass low mileage. Despite the clean recent records, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perish, regardless of wear. Given the low usage, specifically check the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers to ensure that the infrequent frequency of use has not caused excessive corrosion on the braking system.
