VAUXHALL CORSA2007 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 27 June 2024 with 141,136 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the owner has consistently addressed necessary repairs to maintain a valid certificate. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024 pass suggests the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards, though previous failures indicate a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. At 19 years old, the recorded 141,136 miles represent an average of approximately 7,428 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a small city car. The data shows a significant period of low usage between November 2021 and December 2022, where only 4,625 miles were covered over thirteen months. However, the vehicle has seen roughly 6,000 miles between the 2022 and 2024 tests, indicating a consistent level of use that helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, floor pans, and rear arches, as vehicles of this era and mileage are prone to significant corrosion. Given the failures in late 2022 and mid 2024, a close examination of the suspension bushes and coil springs is required to ensure no further play is developing. You should also check the brake discs for excessive pitting or binding calipers, as the mileage suggests wear-related components are likely nearing replacement despite the clean MOT pass.
