2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · KB57 BAA

The 2007 Vauxhall Corsa is presently recorded as roadworthy, the May 29 2025 test showing a pass with no defects despite a concurrent failure entry that also listed none. This contradictory record suggests the maintenance trend is stable, with no evident deterioration between the 2023, 2024 and 2025 tests. The vehicle has covered 80,514 miles since its 2007 manufacture, averaging about 4,200 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a 19‑year‑old car. Mileage rose from 75,198 miles in June 2023 to 77,783 miles in May 2024 (2,585 miles in one year) and then to 80,514 miles in May 2025 (2,731 miles in the following year), indicating steady but not rapid accumulation. The gaps between tests are roughly one year, and the clean defect record at each interval points to consistent, if light, usage. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that have repeatedly appeared in the history, notably the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may show wear despite the lack of recorded defects, and the rear brake calipers that have been flagged for binding in earlier assessments. Inspection of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, the condition of the exhaust system for rust or leaks, and the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes is essential, as is a close look at tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, which can reveal neglect of basic upkeep. Given the low annual mileage and the absence of reported faults, the car appears well‑maintained, yet the dual pass/fail entry on the same date demands a thorough on‑site verification of brake performance, suspension compliance and any hidden structural rust before purchase.
