2009 Vauxhall Tigra 1.4L Petrol · DE09 HCV

The 2009 Vauxhall Tigra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 127,486 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17 year old car, averaging around 7,499 miles per year. The record shows 118,373 miles in August 2023, rising to 121,825 miles by September 2024 and 127,486 miles by September 2025, a steady accumulation of roughly 3,400 to 5,600 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The only anomaly is a failed entry on 27 August 2022 at 111,115 miles immediately followed by a pass at 111,116 miles the same day with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. With four consecutive passes showing no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the prior owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The absence of flagged wear items suggests consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were renewed before each test rather than allowed to lapse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts given the car's age and salt exposure risk on a 2009 hatch. Verify the brake friction material and disc condition despite no MOT advisories, and confirm the 2022 duplicate entry reflects no hidden rectification. The clean record supports confidence, but age related rubber perishing and unseen corrosion remain the key checks on viewing.
