The 2008 Vauxhall Corsa passed its 16 March 2026 MOT at 99,023 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance record. All five MOT entries from October 2022 through March 2026 show consistent passes without any recorded failures, indicating the vehicle has been well maintained and no serious mechanical issues have emerged. At 99,023 miles the car averages roughly 5,500 miles per year, low for a 18‑year‑old model. The mileage rose from 81,055 miles in October 2022 to 99,023 miles in March 2026, a total increase of 17,968 miles over 3.5 years, or about 5,134 miles annually. The largest jump occurred between September 2024 (98,020 miles) and September 2024 (98,020 miles) and March 2025 (98,078 miles), adding only 58 miles, while the period from August 2023 (87,497 miles) to September 2024 (98,020 miles) saw a 10,523‑mile increase, indicating a period of more intensive use. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brake calipers for binding, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Structural integrity must be checked for rust on the chassis rails and wheel arches, especially where moisture can accumulate. Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the age of the vehicle means that hidden corrosion or fatigue in the suspension and drivetrain components may be present, so a physical inspection of these items is essential.
