2005 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FG55 LWF

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 4 April 2025 at 109,826 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available data, showing clean passes once the vehicle cleared its initial failure each spring. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any test, which indicates the car met minimum test standards without outstanding wear flags. The recorded mileage sits at 109,826 against a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,230 miles per year. This is low for its age. The records show steady annual use: 87,840 miles in April 2023, 97,945 at the April 2024 failure, 98,039 at the pass eleven days later, and 109,766 at the April 2025 failure rising to 109,826 on the same-day pass. The sparse three-year history carries no gaps and no rapid accumulation, though the two identical-date fail-then-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 suggest the owner addressed a non-recorded administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT record lists no advisories yet gives no detail on underbody condition for a car of this age. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions warrant a hands-on check despite the clean tests. The lack of flagged wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades across the entries implies basic upkeep was maintained, but low mileage with long standing periods can conceal perished rubber and seized calipers not caught in a pass. Given the repeated same-day failure and pass at identical mileages in 2024 and 2025, verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm no mileage discrepancy or clerical anomaly. The vehicle's light use pattern means mechanical risk is lower than a high-mileage example, yet a 2005 Corsa demands scrutiny of rust at sills and subframes that a clean MOT does not exclude.
