2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · CY08 FPX

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 April 2025 at 141,460 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 17 April 2024 examination at 138,505 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating fault pattern across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an 18-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,859 miles per year against the 141,460 recorded. The gap between the April 2023 failure at 134,888 miles and the April 2025 pass covers only 6,572 miles over two years, indicating light recent use. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. The test history shows two same-day failure then pass cycles on 19 April 2023 and 17 April 2024, both at near-identical mileages with no defects listed on either outcome. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, though a buyer should confirm the V5C and test certificates match. Given the age and low annual mileage, standing periods may have occurred. In person, the buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration from intermittent use, and check structural integrity underneath for corrosion. The exhaust emissions and binding calipers should be verified during a cold start. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the data, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent on a vehicle of this age.
