2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · BG17 AAF

This Corsa comes with a remarkably clean bill of health. The most recent test, carried out on 19 February 2026 at 40,392 miles, resulted in a first-time pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back across the full history, every single annual test has passed cleanly with no advisory notices whatsoever. That is a stable, unblemished maintenance trend that stretches back to March 2022, and it strongly indicates the vehicle has been properly looked after and remains roadworthy for its age. The mileage pattern supports a picture of gentle, consistent use. The recorded mileage works out to roughly 4,488 miles per year, which is low for a nine-year-old car. More telling is the even spread of accumulation; the car covered roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between each annual test, with no sudden jumps or long periods of inactivity. For instance, it travelled 3,035 miles between March 2023 and February 2024, and 4,035 miles in the year leading up to the February 2025 test. This is not a car that has been thrashed or left to stand for months on end. With no flagged faults in the DVSA records, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to worry about. However, the MOT record only confirms the car's condition on the day of each test. A pre-purchase inspection should still focus on items that wear silently, such as tyre tread depth and perishing, brake disc thickness and pad wear, and the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs. The lack of corrosion advisories is encouraging, but a visual check of the sills, floorpan, and rear axle mounting points is still a prudent step for a vehicle of this age. The history is clean, but nothing beats a fresh pair of eyes on the car itself.
