2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · CV59 WPX

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 August 2025 at 141,373 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows two earlier failures on 7 July 2025 at 140,650 miles and 18 April 2024 at 134,237 miles, both cleared with no defects listed. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than escalating mechanical decay, as each failure was immediately followed by a pass with a clean sheet. The odometer reads 141,373 miles against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year, which is typical for the age. Mileage moved from 129,590 in November 2022 to 134,237 by April 2024, then to 135,085 in May 2024, and jumped to 140,650 by July 2025. A 14-month gap separates the May 2024 and July 2025 entries, implying lighter use or a period off the road during that window. The DVSA data itself carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the car is seventeen years old and has covered 141,000 miles. The tester logged no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but absent advisories do not confirm component health. Check the front subframe, sills, and suspension arms for corrosion that a clean MOT may have missed. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures with the test stations, as repeated reject-then-pass cycles without noted faults can mask rushed rectification. Confirm service history and brake friction material in person before purchase.
