2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · DA09 EEY

The Vauxhall Corsa shows a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 24 September 2022 at 43,218 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded period. The vehicle carries no advisories or defects in any test, and the most recent pass came one day after a failed attempt on 23 September 2022 at 43,195 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or undocumented cause rather than a mechanical fault. A near-identical pattern occurred in 2021, with a fail on 23 September at 33,180 miles followed by a pass on 25 September at the same mileage and no defects recorded. At roughly 17 years old the car displays exceptionally low use, having covered just 43,218 miles or about 2,542 miles per year. The record jumps from 33,180 miles in September 2021 to 43,218 miles in September 2022, an addition of 10,038 miles in twelve months that contrasts with the otherwise low annual average. Such a spike after a quiet life suggests a period of heavier commuting or a new keeper, though the sparse four-entry history limits deeper analysis of long-term care. Because no advisories flag suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the DVSA data alone reveals no active mechanical risks. The twin fail-pass pairs with zero recorded defects imply the previous owners addressed whatever halted the tests promptly, or the failures stemmed from non-itemised matters such as documentation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers given the car's age and the likelihood it stood idle for stretches. Verify the reason for the 2021 and 2022 immediate re-tests with the selling garage, and confirm the odometer reading matches the 43,218 miles logged in 2022. Low mileage Vauxhalls of this era often hide perished rubber mounts and flat-spotted tyres from storage, so a workshop check beneath the sills remains sensible before purchase.
