2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DA08 KTF

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a currently roadworthy status following the January 2024 pass at 127,567 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded period. The most recent test on 22 January 2024 cleared the vehicle with no defects logged, though the same-day failure at 127,566 miles on 22 January 2024 shows a retest was required before issuance of the pass. Prior to that, the January 2023 cycle repeated this pattern: a failure at 118,449 miles on 24 January 2023 followed by a pass at 118,450 miles on the same date, and the January 2022 test passed cleanly at 113,697 miles. Recorded mileage sits at 127,567 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to circa 7,087 miles per annum which is typical for the age. The history shows steady annual accumulation: 113,697 miles in January 2022, 118,450 by January 2023, and 127,567 by January 2024, a near-linear circa 5,000 to 9,000 mile spread each year. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data itself is sparse on faults, with every entry recording no defects, so the file gives little indication of consumable or mechanical intervention beyond the test outcomes. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass structure in both January 2023 and January 2024 suggests minor administrative or presentation issues at test rather than substantive mechanical defects, since no advisories or reasons were recorded. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion, as an 18-year Vauxhall of this mileage will likely show age-related wear not captured by a clean MOT sheet. Exhaust emissions and tyre condition warrant verification given the vehicle's standing as a high-mileage older hatchback.
