2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FN59 JUY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clean testing record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 November 2024 at 107,847 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained sufficiently to prevent failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between September 2021 and September 2022, where the car covered only 265 miles. However, usage increased significantly shortly after, with the vehicle covering nearly 20,000 miles between December 2022 and November 2024. This shift in driving habits often correlates with a change in ownership or purpose, which can accelerate wear on rubber-based components, though the recent MOT results show this has not yet resulted in mechanical failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as 2009 Vauxhall Corsas are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. While the record lacks recurring advisories, the failure in September 2022 at 87,519 miles suggests a specific issue required attention that was rectified before the subsequent pass. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perish, and check the brake calipers for binding or uneven thinning, as these are the most likely components to degrade at this mileage bracket despite a clean MOT history.
