2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · CT08 NMM

The 2008 Vauxhall Corsa presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 122,486 miles on 8 January 2026. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged across the five recorded tests. Two failed tests in late 2024 and December 2025 show no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination with a clean sheet. Recorded mileage rose from 114,649 in July 2023 to 118,861 by August 2024, then to 122,486 by January 2026. This equates to roughly 3,800 miles per year over the period, below the 6,805 annual average for the car's age. The sparse history shows three passes and two defect-free failures, with no consumable wear or structural issues ever flagged by testers. Low annual use suggests lighter mechanical loading but offers no insight into standing periods or intermittent corrosion risk. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe integrity given the car's eighteen-year age and Vauxhall's known propensity for structural rust. The absence of advisories across the record does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation invisible to the MOT lane. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions require physical verification despite clean tests. The two consecutive defect-free failures at identical mileages imply documentation anomalies rather than neglect, yet previous owners logged minimal workshop intervention between 2023 and 2026.
