2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FN57 LXS

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend, consistently passing its MOT tests with zero recorded defects. The most recent examination on 21 October 2025 at 104,401 miles resulted in a clean pass. While a failed test appears on the same day with no defects recorded, this typically indicates a same-day retest following a minor rectification, ultimately concluding with a passing certificate. The absence of advisories or failures across the recorded history demonstrates a well-maintained mechanical condition. At eighteen years old with 104,401 miles on the clock, this Vauxhall Corsa has covered an average of roughly 5,800 miles annually, which is notably low for its age. The mileage progression shows steady, incremental accumulation rather than rapid spikes. Between the November 2023 test at 95,555 miles and the October 2024 test at 100,061 miles, the vehicle accrued approximately 4,500 miles over twelve months. The subsequent year saw a further 4,340 miles added before the October 2025 test. Such low annual mileage suggests lighter use, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce its own issues like perished rubber or sticking brakes. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age and low usage profile. Buyers should scrutinise the condition of perishable rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack and degrade from standing rather than wear. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, a common affliction on vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and check the underbody and sills for structural rust, as the Corsa is susceptible to corrosion over time. Verify the operation of all electrical systems and the condition of the cambelt, as low-mileage engines still suffer from age-related deterioration of timing components.
