2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · DY09 KHM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a clean MOT history over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in November 2023 at 105,341 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car met all minimum standards at that time. This follows a period of consistent passes without recorded faults, suggesting that the previous owner maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with low-use patterns for a vehicle this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per annum. Data shows a period of lower activity between October 2021 and October 2022, where the car covered only 1,604 miles. However, usage increased significantly with the 7,767 miles driven between October 2022 and November 2023. This low-mileage status generally reduces wear on drivetrain components but necessitates close inspection of rubber elements and seals, which can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. While the history is clean, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. At 17 years old, these Vauxhall Corsa models are prone to corrosion in the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor mounting points. The failure in August 2020 at 94,330 miles was rectified immediately to achieve a pass, but the lack of advisories in subsequent years suggests the tester did not find significant rust-related concerns. Check for worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and binding calipers, as these components often show wear before a formal MOT failure occurs.
