2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · AM55 KAZ

The 2009 Vauxhall Corsa's roadworthiness status is generally stable, based on the most recent MOT test on 2025-08-28 at 142,202 miles. Although the vehicle passed one test and failed another on the same day, the failure was due to minor issues such as inoperative registration plate lamps and stop lamps, alongside an oil leak that was not excessive. The recorded mileage of 142,202 miles over 17 years translates to approximately 8,365 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of its age. The mileage history appears consistent, with no notable gaps or rapid accumulation periods. Between 2023-07-24 and 2024-08-09, the vehicle covered around 10,484 miles over 12 months, and between 2024-08-09 and 2025-08-28, it covered approximately 9,492 miles in a year, indicating steady usage. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with brake components and lighting. The 2024-08-09 test flagged significant wear on front brake discs and pads, indicating a need for inspection and potential replacement. Brake issues are a serious concern as they affect the vehicle's safety. Additionally, oil leaks, though not excessive, have been a persistent problem, suggesting potential engine maintenance needs. The buyer should inspect the brake discs, pads, and suspension components for wear, check for any signs of structural rust, and assess the condition of the exhaust system, particularly the flexi section, which was noted as being in poor condition in the 2023 test. The buyer should also verify the current condition of the tyres, as the 2024 test noted a cut in the nearside front tyre, albeit not deep enough to reach the ply or cords. Overall, while the vehicle has some recurring issues, they appear to be manageable and not indicative of a catastrophic failure trend. A thorough inspection of these components will provide a clearer picture of the vehicle's current condition and potential maintenance needs.
