2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · DS09 FPT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean testing record over the last three years. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 112,269 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following three consecutive passes since a failure in mid-2022. This trend suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing minor mechanical or safety requirements to ensure the vehicle meets annual standards without failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between July 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 10,728 miles, indicating a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy strain. The short interval between the failure in July 2022 and the subsequent pass two days later indicates that a lighting issue or a minor adjustable fault was identified and rectified immediately rather than representing a pattern of systemic mechanical neglect. Despite the recent clean records, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components given the vehicle's age. Older Vauxhall Corsa models are prone to corrosion on the sills, rear arches, and floor mounting points, which may not always appear as an advisory until they become significant. You should also check the rubber bushes in the suspension arms for signs of cracking or tearing, as these components typically degrade after the 100,000-mile mark regardless of the MOT pass history.
