2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN09 TVP

The 2009 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 22 February 2025 at 76,375 miles. Across the five entries supplied, the vehicle cleared every examination except a single failure on 6 February 2024 at 75,542 miles where the tester logged no defects, followed by a pass on 7 February 2024 at the same mileage. The absence of recorded advisories or mechanical faults indicates consistent compliance, though the unexplained failure with no defects suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a worn component. Annual mileage sits low for a seventeen year old car. The record shows 74,349 miles in February 2022, rising to 74,811 in February 2023, 75,542 in February 2024, and 76,375 in February 2025. That equates to roughly 500 to 800 miles per year across the documented period, well under the 4,493 mile annual average implied by the lifetime figure. Such light use points to short local journeys or extended standing, which commonly accelerates corrosion on brake discs and exhaust systems despite low drivetrain wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods off the road. The MOT history flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, yet testers recorded zero advisories even at 76,000 miles, which may reflect cursory checks rather than confirmed soundness. Verify brake disc condition and exhaust emissions in person, as low mileage cars often develop surface rust and stale fuel issues unseen in a pass result. The repeated clean sheets from 2022 through 2025 imply the previous keeper maintained basic legal standards, but the February 2024 failure with no defects recorded warrants a query on the test centre's rationale. Given the sparse fault data, treat the Corsa as mechanically sound on paper while budgeting for age related rubber perishing and unseen rust proofing needs.
