2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FH09 CWK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 67,816 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained the necessary maintenance to keep the vehicle operational without recurring major mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 55,105 miles and the 2025 test at 67,816 miles, the car covered 12,711 miles. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids. The data shows a steady, modest usage pattern without any sudden spikes that would indicate heavy use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age and lack of movement rather than high mileage. The single failure in October 2023 at 58,776 miles was immediately followed by a pass the next day, suggesting a minor issue that was quickly rectified. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and surface rust is essential, as low-mileage cars often sit in environments where oxidation can accelerate. Additionally, inspect for perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and dry cracking on the tyres, as these items often fail due to time rather than distance driven.
