2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN09 HBD

The 2009 Vauxhall Corsa presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 6 March 2026 at 133,380 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Two earlier failures in 2023 and 2024 both show no defects recorded by the tester, indicating administrative or presentation issues at those tests rather than outstanding mechanical faults, with subsequent passes confirming the vehicle cleared requirements each time. Recorded mileage sits at 133,380 against an approximate 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,846 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a supermini of this age. The gap between the 28 September 2023 test at 119,855 miles and the 17 October 2024 pass at 128,533 miles shows about 8,678 miles added in thirteen months. A short 73-mile burst between the 24 September 2024 failure and the 17 October 2024 pass suggests the owner addressed the test promptly. No rapid accumulation or long dormant periods are evident from the data supplied. The clean defect history across all five entries means the MOT record raises no flags for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on a 2009 shell. The repeated no-defect failures warrant a check of the original refusal reasons at the test station, as these may concern minor consumables or documentation rather than serious mechanical risk. Given two clean passes inside fifteen months and a fault-free latest test, prior ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The absence of advisories across the record is unusual for a 133,000-mile Vauxhall and may mean worn components such as tyres or wiper blades were changed before each test rather than noted. A pre-purchase check of actual tyre tread, fluid leaks, and steering play remains sensible.
