2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · AD58 YRW

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent test. The October 2022 MOT at 163,958 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior October 2021 test at 142,203 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards over this two-year window. Recorded mileage rose from 142,203 in October 2021 to 163,958 in October 2022, a gain of 21,755 miles in twelve months against a lifetime average near 9,109 per year. That annual figure sits roughly typical for an eighteen-year-old car, yet the single-year jump is over double the norm and suggests heavier than usual use in that period. The gap between the last test and today spans roughly three years and eight months, so the current mechanical state is unverified by any recent official inspection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase given the elapsed time since the 2022 pass. Focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as an elderly Vauxhall of this mileage commonly develops structural rust and worn linkages even after a clean test. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked for binding or deterioration unseen at the last MOT. The absence of advisories in both records implies previous owners addressed issues before testing rather than deferring them. Verify service history and confirm tyre tread, wiper blades, and fluid condition on viewing, since these consumables fall outside MOT defect capture once worn post-test.
