2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN57 TYU

The 2007 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 58,697 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 57,635 miles on 19 December 2024 and at 56,472 miles on 19 December 2023. The only blemish is a failed test on 19 December 2023 at 56,470 miles, logged with no defects recorded, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 56,472 miles. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage shows very low annual use for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 55,372 miles at the 19 December 2022 test to 58,697 miles by December 2025, an average of roughly 1,108 miles per year. The car sat largely unused across this period. Such low accumulation points to light local running or extended standing, which can allow corrosion, seized brake components, and degraded rubber bushes to develop despite clean MOT sheets. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories but does not certify absence of rust on a vehicle of this age. The tester should examine brake discs and calipers for binding after prolonged inactivity, and check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing. Tyres and wiper blades will need visual confirmation of condition given the standing time. The history implies a previous owner who kept the car garaged or minimally driven and met test requirements without neglect. No recurring mechanical faults or consumable failures appear across the five entries. The Corsa remains a low-risk purchase on paper, subject to confirmation of hidden corrosion and brake freedom at point of sale.
