2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · AV08 FFY

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 28 June 2025 at 99,193 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This continues a consistent trend of clean passes dating back several years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very light duty. The mileage is low for an eighteen year old car, averaging roughly 5,511 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 73,458 to 90,168 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any new mechanical failures or advisories, which indicates the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load without issue. The record is unusually sparse regarding faults. A failure on 5 July 2022 at 70,625 miles was resolved on the same day, though the record lists no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass. The absence of any mentioned advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear over the last four years is rare for a Vauxhall of this vintage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade during periods of low usage. Check for perishing rubber seals, tyre cracking, and potential seizing of brake calipers or sliders. Given the age of the car, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pan is necessary, as these issues can sometimes be overlooked or develop rapidly between test intervals.
