2003 Vauxhall Corsavan 1.7L Diesel · FN53 OYJ

The Vauxhall Corsavan passed its most recent MOT on 18 May 2023 at 209,240 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record is sparse and shows two failed tests immediately prior to passes with no defects logged, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than resolved mechanical faults. The van has covered 209,240 miles over roughly 23 years, averaging about 9,097 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial of this age. Mileage moved from 202,312 at the January 2022 tests to 209,240 by May 2023, a modest 6,928 miles in 16 months. A notable gap exists between the January 2022 and May 2023 tests, with no intermediate record, and the two 2022 entries on the same day show a fail then pass at identical mileage, suggesting the vehicle was presented without a recorded defect correction. The DVSA data flags no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any test. Buyers should still inspect structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and 209k mileage, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of wear on consumables like tyres or wiper blades. Given the twin fail-pass pairs at 202,312 and 209,235 miles with zero defects noted, previous owners likely deferred minor upkeep or used the van for short urban cycles. A physical check of binding calipers, coil springs, and chassis welds remains prudent before purchase.
