2002 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · AK02 WKA

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 24 February 2026 at 71,800 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from February 2024 onward showing clean results aside from two anomalous fails on the same days as passes. Those same-day fail-and-pass pairs on 15 February 2024 and 23 February 2026, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, suggest administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 71,800 against a 2002 build gives an average of roughly 2,992 miles per year, confirming very light use for a 24-year-old vehicle. Annual increments are consistent and modest: 65,575 miles in February 2024, 68,528 in February 2025, and 71,800 by February 2026, equating to around 3,200 miles per year recently. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data, and the sparse clean record offers little evidence of deferred consumable maintenance. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the vehicle's age and low standing mileage that can mask underbody rust. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for deterioration not captured in an MOT with zero advisories. The absence of flagged binding calipers or exhaust emissions failures is reassuring, but the same-day fail entries justify verifying the V5C and test certificate authenticity with DVSA before purchase.
