2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FG53 UDM

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent official test. The November 2021 examination at 116,174 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. Given the current date of July 2026, this clean result is now over four and a half years old and carries no guarantee of present condition. The odometer shows 116,174 miles against a 2004 build date, equating to an average of roughly 5,281 miles per year. This is low for a vehicle of its age and suggests either light annual use or extended periods of inactivity. The single MOT entry means we cannot chart any mileage progression or identify gaps; the record simply confirms the car stood at 116,174 miles when tested in late 2021 and offers no data since. A buyer must treat the 2021 pass as historical only. With no advisories logged, the tester raised no concerns on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at that point, but a 22-year-old Vauxhall left largely untested for years risks dormant issues. Long standing invites seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and underbody rust the 2021 check would not capture today. Prior to purchase, commission an independent inspection focusing on structural integrity, brake binding, and perished rubber components. The sparse history gives no evidence of neglect yet provides no reassurance on current wear. Verify the true standing time and confirm whether the recorded 116,174 miles remains accurate against the present clock.
