2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN09 PZG

The 2009 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 99,109 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from March 2023 through February 2025 also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA record, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 99,109 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 5,830 miles per year. The history shows gentle, consistent accumulation: 79,872 miles in March 2023, 85,594 by March 2024, 91,538 in February 2025, and 99,109 by March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps exist. The clean test on 25 March 2024 followed a same-day failure logged with no defects recorded, a likely administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical concern, and the sparse five-entry record gives little basis to question upkeep. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable and structural items the MOT does not deeply probe. At this age and low mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion warrant close visual checks, as standing periods can accelerate rust where road salt sits. Brake discs and calipers may show light binding from disuse despite passing emissions and roller tests. Given the absent advisories, previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current without neglected failures. The low annual use implies lighter drivetrain wear, but verify tyre sidewall condition and underbody integrity before purchase, since MOT cleanliness at 99,109 miles does not certify long-term component life.
