2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DA09 YGD

The vehicle presents a contradictory roadworthiness picture from its most recent recorded tests. On 18 September 2021 at 104,334 miles the Vauxhall Corsa passed with no defects recorded, yet on the very same date and mileage it also failed with no defects listed. This duplicate entry suggests an administrative anomaly at the testing station rather than a clear mechanical trend, and with no further tests logged since, the maintenance history is neither stable, worsening, nor improving but simply stale, now nearly five years old relative to today's date. The odometer stood at 104,334 miles at the September 2021 test, equating to an average of roughly 6,137 miles per year across the car's seventeen years. That figure is typical for a vehicle of this age and implies light-to-moderate use rather than high-stress motorway commuting or long idle periods. The record shows no earlier entries and no subsequent tests, so the buyer cannot trace wear patterns or confirm the current mileage, leaving a substantial gap between the last evidenced condition and now. Given the absence of any advisories or recorded faults across the two 2021 entries, the MOT data alone raises no specific structural or mechanical red flags such as corroded suspension arms, worn brake discs, or exhaust leaks. However, a 2009 Corsa with no test in nearly five years demands a physical inspection of common age-related items. The buyer should examine subframe and sill corrosion, front suspension bushes, coil spring fracture, and brake caliper binding, none of which the historic record can confirm or deny. The duplicate pass-and-fail at identical mileage points to clerical error rather than owner neglect, but the long lapse since 2021 means any roadworthiness claim rests on assumption. A fresh MOT and a hands-on check of tyres, wipers, and underbody integrity are essential before purchase.
