2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DS09 LYF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend following previous failures. The most recent test on 6 June 2024 at 106,615 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in prior years were successfully addressed. This represents a significant shift from the 2022 and 2023 periods where the car required repairs to rectify specific faults before meeting minimum road safety standards. The recorded mileage of 106,615 miles over 17 years reflects an average usage of approximately 6,271 miles per annum. This figure is consistent with low-intensity urban driving, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the car covered 3,745 miles, while it covered 1,235 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. These low intervals suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy stress, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to component degradation. A buyer should inspect the components that caused the failures in 2022 and 2023, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of the Corsa and the clean result of the final year, focus should remain on the suspension bushes or brake components that required attention previously. Physical inspection must also check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for vehicles of this era regardless of low mileage.
