2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · CV09 GDO

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 95,242 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any entry. However, the record shows a failed test on the same date and mileage immediately prior to the pass, with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a deterioration in condition. The recorded mileage of 95,242 miles against a 2009 registration equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 90,148 miles on 29 February 2024, 93,191 miles on 3 March 2025, and 95,242 miles on 2 March 2026. This reflects light annual use of around 2,000 to 3,000 miles, with no rapid build-up or standing gaps that would concern drivetrain wear. The clean test history with no corrosion, suspension, or brake advisories implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but the sparse record limits deeper insight into consumable care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT entries recorded no advisories but a 17-year-old Vauxhall is prone to subframe rust unseen in a test lane. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern in March 2025 and March 2026 with no defects warrants checking the test centre paperwork for any lighting or documentation anomaly. Examine brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes directly, since low mileage can mask perishing rubber and binding calipers that a clean MOT will not reveal.
