2008 Opel Corsa 1.2L Petrol · AB08 CST

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on April 14, 2025, 70,667 miles. The maintenance trend shows a move toward stability after a period of inconsistency in the previous year. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history of multiple failures in 2024 and early 2025 indicates that the vehicle required specific interventions to meet minimum standards prior to its success. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 2008-registration, averaging approximately 3,926 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 67,547 miles and the April 2025 test, the car covered only 3,120 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods or was used sparingly, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, perished tyres, and seals, despite low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. The record shows three failures on April 5, 2024, at 67,546 miles, and another failure on April 14, 2025, at 70,667 miles, yet the specific defect reasons are not detailed in the provided data. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection to check for common Corsa issues such as structural corrosion on the door sills and rear floor pans. Given the age and low mileage, the tester should also examine for binding calipers due to rust and the condition of coil springs, which often fail on vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
