2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FH57 WHB

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 30 March 2023 returning a pass at 102,953 miles and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle failed the test on 17 October 2022 at 102,920 miles, yet the failure carried no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded cause rather than a mechanical fault. The earlier pass on 21 October 2021 at 94,987 miles also showed a clean sheet. The record suggests no worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. At roughly 19 years old, the car shows 102,953 miles, equating to about 5,400 miles per year, which is low for its age. The mileage climbed 7,966 miles between October 2021 and October 2022, then added only 33 miles by March 2023. Such a pattern points to light general use with a spell of standing still near the end. The sparse history with three entries across two years gives limited visibility, but no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion appear in the data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record omits any advisory and a 2007 Vauxhall is prone to rust at sills and subframes. The tester flagged no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but low mileage with long idle periods can hide seized suspension components and flat-spotted tyres. Given the clean pass and absent defect list, the vehicle looks mechanically sound on paper. Verify the October 2022 failure reason with DVSA, and confirm the odometer consistency, since 33 miles in five months hints at storage rather than daily use.
