2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · FN59 YCY

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 April 2025 at 95,736 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no escalating mechanical concerns across the supplied history. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly after a failed attempt four days earlier at 95,673 miles, though the failure entry lists no specific defects, indicating an administrative or unlogged correction rather than a substantive fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,632 miles against 17 years of age, a low figure for a 2009 supermini. The records show 89,910 miles on 16 October 2023, rising to 92,174 by 12 April 2024 and 95,673 by 10 April 2025. The October 2023 to April 2024 span added only 2,264 miles, while the following year added 3,499, both modest. Such low use with a four-day fail-pass cycle in April 2025 suggests the car spent periods idle and that the prior owner addressed a minor compliance issue promptly before retest. Given the absence of advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions throughout the record, no recurring wear pattern emerges. The clean pass history implies basic upkeep was maintained, though the twin fail-pass entries in October 2023 and April 2025 with no logged defects warrant scrutiny of the test centre paperwork. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, check brake calipers for binding after low-mileage standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given potential long storage. The low annual use means consumables like wiper blades may have perished despite clean MOTs.
