2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · FY58 ACV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 November 2025 at 139,067 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently achieves a pass following immediate failures in both November 2024 and 2025. This pattern indicates that the previous owner was proactive enough to rectify specific faults identified by the tester, rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist across subsequent tests. At 139,067 miles over 18 years, the Corsa reflects an average of approximately 7,726 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for an older hatchback. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 4,600 miles driven between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,626 miles since. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently, which often helps prevent the brake seizing or seal degradation associated with long periods of standing. While the most recent tests show no recorded advisories or defects, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the sills, the rear suspension mounting points, and the exhaust system, as these are common areas of failure on this model. Given the history of failures followed by passes, a close look at the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines is advisable to ensure that components are not nearing the end of their functional life.
