2002 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FP02 OXE

The Vauxhall Corsa shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 26 July 2022 at 97,243 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester issued a failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which indicates an administrative or unrecorded cause rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle then passed without defect. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the 2021 or 2022 records. The odometer stood at 94,732 miles for the 10 August 2021 test and rose to 97,243 miles by July 2022, a gain of just 2,511 miles over eleven months. Against a 24-year lifespan this equates to roughly 4,052 miles per year, confirming very low use for the age. The sparse three-entry history with clean results gives little evidence of neglect, though the identical mileage on the pass and fail entries of 26 July 2022 suggests the car may have been presented twice in one day. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a 2002 Vauxhall is prone to age-related rust unseen in a clean MOT. The lack of flagged brake discs, calipers, or suspension bushes in the record does not exempt the car from degraded rubber components after long standing. Verify the reason for the 26 July 2022 failure with DVSA, since no defect was recorded yet the test outcome was reversed the same day. Confirm the vehicle has not been idle since mid-2022, as four years without a test risks flat-spotted tyres, seized handbrake mechanisms, and perished hoses.
