2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FE09 AAX

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 26 September 2024 at 148,593 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 8,741 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2022 test at 133,440 miles and the September 2023 test at 141,039 miles shows a steady usage pattern of 7,599 miles. A similar trend continues into the final recorded test, with 7,554 miles added over the following year. There are no erratic jumps or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the absence of any advisories over three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for Corsas that the MOT may not always capture in early stages. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads along with the suspension bushes. At nearly 150,000 miles, these components often show wear even if they are not yet at a failure threshold. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt replacements have occurred, as the MOT record only confirms the vehicle is roadworthy, not that it has been comprehensively serviced.
