2010 Vauxhall Corsavan 1.2L Diesel · CY60 ABV

The Vauxhall Corsavan has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 30 September 2025, with no defects recorded at 77,111 miles. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past five annual tests, though the duplicate entry for 2022—where the vehicle failed on 21 September at 71,823 miles before passing the next day—suggests either a minor administrative oversight or an unusually quick resolution of any issues. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the four most recent tests implies that major components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers have not been flagged for deterioration, though this does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test was conducted just under ten months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, as critical components like brake discs and suspension geometry can degrade noticeably over that period. The recorded mileage of 77,111 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 4,819 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for vehicles of this age. This suggests either light usage, prolonged periods of inactivity, or potential mileage tampering, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The consistent annual increments—ranging from 1,532 to 2,288 miles between tests—indicate no abrupt spikes in mileage that might imply aggressive driving or neglect. However, the low annual mileage also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored improperly, which could accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation in components like the exhaust system or power steering. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle alignment and condition of the coil springs and bushes, as these are common points of failure in this model. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, should be tested for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion should be scrutinised around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as prolonged low mileage can exacerbate rust if the vehicle was stored unsheltered. Additionally, the exhaust system—particularly the catalytic converter and downstream pipes—should be checked for leaks or blockages, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can fail catastrophically. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are sound, so visual and functional verification is essential.
