2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · EA59 TJZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 December 2024 at 102,583 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met the minimum standards following initial test failures. While the record shows failures in both 2022 and 2024, the subsequent passes indicate that the owner is willing to rectify identified defects to keep the vehicle on the road. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,583 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,000 miles per year. This is consistent with low-mileage commuting for a vehicle of this age. The interval between the November 2023 test at 91,887 miles and the December 2024 test at 102,583 miles shows an accumulation of over 10,000 miles in thirteen months. This consistent usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting stationary, which helps prevent the degradation of dry-seal components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as older Vauxhall models from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Although the most recent test recorded no advisories, the previous history of failures suggests the vehicle may have previously suffered mechanical issues that require ongoing monitoring. Inspect the rubber bushings for cracking and check the brake lines for signs of surface corrosion to ensure that the recent pass reflects a well-maintained chassis rather than a temporary fix.
