2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · DE04 AGY

The Vauxhall Corsa passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 117,647 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no advisories or mechanical faults raised. The vehicle carries a clean test outcome in its latest examination. Two earlier failures on 4 February 2026 and 12 February 2025 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes show administrative re-tests rather than recorded defects, so no worsening condition is evident in the data. Recorded mileage sits at 117,647 against a 2004 build, averaging roughly 5,348 miles per year. The odometer moved only 3,474 miles between the February 2024 pass at 111,192 and the February 2025 test at 114,173, then 3,474 again to the February 2026 figure. Such low annual use for a 22-year-old car implies long idle periods. Standing time accelerates perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion on structural members even when the test sheet stays blank. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for rust, since MOT absence of advisories does not confirm freedom from age-related degradation. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn brake discs, yet low mileage and storage can hide sticky handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres. Verify the actual reason for the two failed-then-passed same-day entries with the DVSA, as the record shows no defects logged. Confirm underseal condition and exhaust emissions under load before purchase, given the vehicle's age and intermittent use pattern.
