2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · FP04 SXS

The 2004 Vauxhall Corsa presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 2 October 2023 at 105,717 miles returned a pass with no advisories, matching the clean outcomes from 6 October 2022 at 104,481 miles and 7 October 2021 at 102,970 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening or recurring mechanical faults in the official record. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 22-year-old car. Between October 2021 and October 2023 the odometer advanced just 2,747 miles, an average of roughly 1,374 miles per year against a lifetime mean near 4,805. Such low accumulation suggests extended periods of storage or infrequent short journeys rather than sustained use. The sparse three-year history offers no evidence of rapid wear cycles or neglected consumable replacement, though it lacks the depth to confirm longer-term care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and likely standing periods. Low mileage combined with inactivity often accelerates rubber perishing and structural rust more than high-mileage use. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for binding or pitting after limited road time. The absence of advisories means no specific recurring defects demand follow-up from the record itself. Verify the 2023 pass remains current against today's date of 8 July 2026, as the test will soon lapse if not renewed.
