2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FN08 WMF

The 2008 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 65,330 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful annual tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The single failure on 8 June 2023 at 61,630 miles listed no defects, with the vehicle passing the very next day, indicating an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive condition. Recorded mileage sits at 65,330 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,629 miles per year. The car covered just 1,843 miles between June 2022 (58,852) and June 2023 (61,630), then 1,857 miles to June 2024 (63,487), and 1,843 miles to June 2025 (65,330). This low, consistent annual use points to light running with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean record across all tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though sparse entries leave little detail on component condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record discloses none of these and low-mileage cars left standing often develop structural rust unseen by the tester. Brake discs and calipers warrant a physical check for binding or pitting despite the clean emissions and braking results. The absence of advisories across five years means no worsening mechanical trend exists, but verify the 2023 failure cause with the test station to rule out a concealed defect.
