2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN09 HCP

The Vauxhall Corsa presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test, with a pass recorded on 8 July 2023 at 132,044 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged by testers. Two failed tests on the same dates as passes in 2022 and 2023, both at identical or near-identical mileages and with no defects recorded, point to administrative re-tests rather than unresolved mechanical conditions. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2009 vehicle, rising from 116,637 miles at the 10 July 2021 test to 125,532 at the 8 July 2022 failure and 125,558 at the pass three days later, then to 132,044 by 8 July 2023. That equates to roughly 7,700 miles per year, indicating consistent private use without prolonged standing or excessive commercial wear. The record is sparse on detail, with every entry listing no defects, which limits insight into consumable condition but suggests no formal flags against the car. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a clean MOT does not confirm absence of developing rust on a 17-year-old hatchback. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or suspension bushes, yet components at this age and mileage warrant hands-on checks for worn coil springs or binding calipers not caught in the annual test. Given the duplicate fail-and-pass entries at 132,044 miles in July 2023 and 125,000-odd in July 2022, previous owners likely used the same garage for quick rectification of paperwork issues rather than neglecting upkeep. Verify service history independently, as the MOT alone shows no warning signs but offers no evidence of routine mechanical care beyond statutory testing.
