2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · AF08 TZA

The 2008 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 30 September 2025 at 74,557 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a sound standard for its eighteen years. Recorded mileage sits at 74,557 against a build date of 2008, averaging roughly 4,142 miles per year. The DVSA entries show 56,636 miles in October 2022, rising to 65,019 by October 2023, then 69,230 in October 2024 and 74,557 in September 2025. That equates to about 8,400 miles in the first interval and under 5,400 per year thereafter, confirming light use with no sudden accumulation. The clean sheet across all tests suggests previous owners addressed consumables before each examination rather than leaving wear to flag as advisories. A single failure appears on 2 October 2023 at 65,019 miles, logged on the same date as a pass with no defects cited. This points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect, and the immediate re-test pass confirms no outstanding fault. Given the sparse and clean record, the history implies careful storage and low-stress running rather than neglected standing periods. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related perishing, and check underside structural integrity for corrosion given the vehicle's eighteen-year life. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions match the clean MOT claim, and confirm the 2023 duplicate entry was clerical by reviewing the DVSA certificate rather than assuming unseen repair work.
