2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.7L Diesel · CX08 XGG

The Vauxhall Corsa shows a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 15 February 2023 at 184,724 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recent record, as the most recent test raised no defects and the vehicle has carried no advisories or mechanical flags in the supplied history. The pattern is consistent rather than worsening, with no escalation in faults between 2022 and 2023. The recorded mileage of 184,724 against an 18-year lifespan equates to roughly 10,262 miles per year, which sits within typical use for a 2008 supermini. The gap between the February 2022 pass at 172,201 miles and the February 2023 pass at 184,724 miles shows about 12,523 miles added in twelve months, a slightly above-average but unremarkable annual accumulation. Both failed tests in February 2022 and February 2023 occurred one to three days before the subsequent passes at near-identical mileages, with no defects logged on either failure; this suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and mileage, as the MOT record supplies no evidence these components were examined in depth beyond a clear result. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checking, particularly around sills and subframes, since the absence of advisories does not confirm absence of age-related rust on a 2008 shell. The repeated same-week fail-then-pass cycles with zero defects recorded imply the previous keeper used the MOT as a routine renewal rather than a repair trigger. Verify the car's actual condition with a qualified technician before purchase, focusing on consumable wear and any hidden structural deterioration not captured by the clean certificates.
