2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · FN07 GOA

The Vauxhall Corsa currently holds a failed MOT status from the 5 June 2024 test at 181,644 miles, with no defects formally recorded against that failure. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 5 May 2023 at 178,416 miles after a failed attempt four working days earlier on 26 April 2023 at the same mileage. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of pre-test failures followed by rapid passes with no advisories logged, which suggests the tester raised a fault, the owner corrected it, and the car cleared without further note. This is not a worsening mechanical decline, but the absence of any recorded advisories across five tests limits our view of wear on consumables and structure. The odometer sat at 172,278 miles for the May 2022 tests and rose to 178,416 miles by April 2023, an annual gain of roughly 6,100 miles, then crept to 181,644 miles by June 2024 at about 3,200 miles over thirteen months. Against the 19-year lifespan and a typical 9,560 miles per year, the recent accumulation has slowed markedly. The DVSA entries show no gaps longer than twelve months and no rapid jumps, so the mileage pattern reads as light recent use on an already high-mileage hatchback. Because every test returned no defects and no advisories, the record gives no direct signal of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sill structural integrity, given the 2007 build and 181,644 miles, and check for binding calipers or tired suspension that a no-advisory pass will not expose. The two failed-then-passed cycles in 2022 and 2023 imply the previous owners addressed roadworthiness faults only when forced by the test, rather than through scheduled upkeep. Treat the clean MOT paper trail as incomplete rather than reassuring. The 2024 failure with zero defects recorded is anomalous and must be clarified at point of sale before any purchase proceeds.
