2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FP09 HDO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-26 at 91,426 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-10-10 (85,988 miles) and 2023-10-16 (72,133 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent adherence to roadworthiness standards. However, a duplicate entry for 2023-10-16 lists a failure with no defects recorded, which may reflect administrative inconsistency rather than a mechanical issue. Overall, the absence of recorded faults in the last four tests implies the car has been well-maintained, though the low mileage over 17 years warrants scrutiny for potential storage-related wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 91,426 miles at 17 years old equates to approximately 5,378 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and electrical systems. Notable gaps between tests—such as the 14-month interval between 2022-07-28 (62,540 miles) and 2023-10-16 (72,133 miles)—may indicate irregular servicing, though no defects were recorded during these periods. The sparse data lacks evidence of recurring issues, but the low mileage raises questions about the vehicle’s operational history. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, common in low-mileage vehicles left stationary. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as infrequent use can lead to seizing. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but rust or corrosion in hidden areas—such as under the chassis or in door sills—may require a detailed visual inspection. The absence of recorded defects is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm its mechanical condition.
