2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FP09 EZS

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 125,683 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 3 April 2025 at 124,944 miles confirms the vehicle has held a fault-free status for over a year. The earlier failure on 26 March 2025 at 124,943 miles was logged with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing cleanly one week later. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,393 miles per year against the 125,683 miles recorded. The records show low annual accumulation: 2,247 miles between the December 2022 test at 120,697 miles and the December 2023 test at 123,387 miles, then only 1,557 miles to the April 2025 pass at 124,944 miles. A gap exists between December 2023 and the March 2025 failure, with no test logged in late 2024, suggesting the car covered under 1,600 miles in that period or the owner delayed the test. Light use of this kind often masks worn suspension bushes or corroding brake pipes that escape detection under short, infrequent runs. No advisories or defects appear across the five tests supplied, so the DVSA record itself raises no red flags on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or binding calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as a 2009 Corsa at this age is prone to hidden corrosion not captured by a pass with no defects. Check the condition of tyres and wiper blades for perishing from low-mileage standing, and confirm the brake discs are free of lip and the suspension components show no play after years of limited use.
