2002 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · CU52 TDV

The Vauxhall Corsa shows a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 20 January 2023 at 95,261 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failed test on 24 December 2021 at 94,492 miles that was immediately re-tested and passed the same day with no defects logged. This suggests an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 95,261 against a 2002 build date gives an average of roughly 3,969 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. Between the December 2021 test at 94,492 miles and the January 2023 test at 95,261 miles, the car covered only 769 miles in just over twelve months. A two-year gap then exists before today's date of 8 July 2026, meaning the vehicle has likely stood unused or seen minimal running since the last test, which carries risk of perished rubber components and seized mechanisms from inactivity. The clean defect record gives no flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, so no recurring mechanical trend is present in the data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as a 24-year-old Vauxhall is prone to hidden rust where the MOT did not record it. Given the prolonged dormancy since January 2023, the buyer must verify the braking system for binding calipers and check all fluid levels, tyres, and exhaust emissions before any road use. The same-day fail and pass in December 2021 warrants confirmation that no outstanding test anomaly affects the vehicle's standing.
