2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DA09 YCW

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable maintenance trend with a current roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 30 August 2023 at 89,222 miles with no defects recorded. The test history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the four available entries, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a basic pass standard without escalating concerns. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a 2009 vehicle. From the 13 August 2021 test at 85,060 miles to the 31 August 2022 test at 86,092 miles, the car covered just 1,032 miles in a year. By the 30 August 2023 test it reached 89,222 miles, adding only 3,130 miles over the following twelve months. This low annual average of roughly 5,248 miles suggests extended standing periods, though the sparse record with clean passes gives no evidence of neglected consumables or structural decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's seventeen-year age and likely intermittent use. Long idle spells accelerate perishable component degradation even when MOT tests show clear results. The duplicated 30 August 2023 entry, showing both a fail and pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, points to an administrative retest rather than a mechanical defect. Verify the odometer reading against service invoices and check for moisture ingress around brake calipers and exhaust emissions hardware. The absence of advisories across all tests does not exempt the car from age-related wear on coil springs and steering joints that a static MOT bay may not fully expose.
