2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · NY04 BWW

The Vauxhall Corsa passed its most recent MOT on 15 March 2024 at 112,352 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no mechanical or structural faults flagged at any stage. The record shows a clean run from the 9 March 2022 pass at 106,269 miles through to the 2024 tests, with the only blemishes being administrative failures on 11 March 2023 and 15 March 2024 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, where the tester logged no defects. This indicates the vehicle cleared on re-presentation without repair work, pointing to paperwork or presentation issues rather than worn components. The odometer sat at 106,269 miles in March 2022, rose to 108,451 miles by March 2023, and reached 112,352 miles by March 2024. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year over the recorded period, well below the circa 5,100 miles per year average for a 2004 car, and consistent with light use or extended standing. The sparse three-year snapshot shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps, though the absence of pre-2022 entries limits any judgement on earlier wear cycles. Given the zero advisories and no recorded corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across all five entries, the MOT data alone suggests sound basic upkeep by prior owners. The twin zero-defect failures in March 2023 and March 2024 imply the car was presented without rectification needs, so neglect of consumables appears unlikely. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe condition, and binding calipers, as a 22-year-old Vauxhall is prone to hidden structural rust and perished rubber that an MOT pass does not always capture. Low annual mileage can mask degraded seals and brake hose cracking from inactivity. Verify the 2024 failure cause with the test centre, and confirm service history to explain the missing pre-2022 MOT lines before purchase.
