2006 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0L Petrol · FP06 YMT

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 4 September 2025 at 94,990 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior annual tests also returned clear results once passed. No worsening pattern of faults emerges from the DVLA data. Recorded mileage stands at 94,990 miles for a 2006 vehicle, equating to roughly 4,750 miles per year and indicating light use for its age. The odometer moved from 62,601 miles at the August 2023 test to 79,214 miles by August 2024, then to 94,990 miles by September 2025, showing steady annual accumulation of around 15,000 miles in the later period. The record is sparse, with only three passes and two fails logged, and no advisories or defects ever listed. The two failures on 29 August 2024 and 3 September 2025 are anomalous, as both show zero recorded defects yet resulted in a fail, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The immediate passes the following day with identical mileages confirm the car was not mechanically deficient. Previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current, though the twin fail-pass pairs imply last-minute test bookings rather than proactive maintenance scheduling. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's twenty-year age and the absence of any advisory data in the record. Low mileage over two decades can mask perished rubber components and structural rust from prolonged standing. Verify the V5C and confirm no outstanding recall or undisclosed repair history before purchase.
