2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FD54 ABK

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 16 June 2022 at 86,478 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in June 2021 at 81,066 miles and April 2019 at 75,762 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available record, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening condition in the documented period. Recorded mileage sits at 86,478 against a 2004 build, equating to roughly 3,931 miles per year and reflecting light use for a 22-year-old car. The sequence shows modest annual accumulation between 2019 and 2022, though the 2020 entry lists 810,047 miles, a clear data anomaly against the surrounding figures of 75,762 and 81,066. Aside from that erroneous log, the gaps are narrow and the progression is consistent, with no evidence of rapid wear cycles or prolonged disuse beyond normal low-mileage patterns. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the vehicle's age and the limitations of a clean MOT sheet that omits advisories. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for age-related degradation not captured in the pass results. The September 2018 failure at 75,739 miles carries no listed defects, so the reason remains undocumented; verify the rectification with the prior owner or test station records before purchase. Low annual mileage can mask perished rubber components and brake caliper binding from standing. Examine exhaust emissions hardware and underbody for rust, as the DVSA tests passed without noting such items. The clean history implies reasonable basic upkeep, but 22 years of service demands hands-on verification of consumables and chassis condition.
