2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · CT09 FCN

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 July 2025 at 69,416 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, as every test from 2023 onwards shows either a clean pass or a fail with no defects logged, indicating no worsening mechanical or structural issues emerged. The duplicated fail and pass entries on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 suggest administrative re-tests rather than genuine faults, so the underlying condition appears consistent. At roughly 17 years old the car shows 69,416 recorded miles, an average of about 4,083 miles per year, which is low for its age. The record shows 58,158 miles on 6 October 2023, then 58,644 miles by 19 July 2024, and 69,416 miles by 14 July 2025. That final jump of nearly 11,000 miles in twelve months follows two years of near-static use, implying the vehicle stood idle before a period of heavier recent running. Low overall mileage with long standing spells can mask perished rubber components and corrosion not caught in a clean test. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation, since the MOT logged no advisories to confirm their condition. Standing time raises the risk of seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres, and structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a visual check for rust. The clean records give no cause for alarm, but the gaps in use mean a physical inspection must verify consumables and underbody condition beyond the paper trail.
