2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FN54 PWZ

The 2004 Vauxhall Corsa has a recent MOT test dated 2025-09-04 at 144,708 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-03 at 144,699 miles failed without any defects noted, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance pattern in the last three years. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears acceptable, but the failure without recorded issues warrants scrutiny to confirm whether unresolved concerns were addressed. The car’s mileage of 144,708 miles over 22 years equates to an average of 6,578 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT records show consistent testing intervals of roughly 12 months, with minimal mileage fluctuations between tests. The 2023-09-11 test at 137,502 miles progressed to 141,785 miles by 2024-09-13, then to 144,699 miles in 2025-09-10, reflecting gradual accumulation without significant gaps. This suggests regular use but no evidence of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear on consumables. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over 22 years. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the car’s high mileage. Corrosion in the underbody and exhaust system is also likely, as these areas are prone to rust in older vehicles. While the MOT history lacks specific defects, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough mechanical inspection to confirm the absence of hidden structural or drivetrain issues.
