2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · KK04 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the clean result of its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 31 August 2023 at 180,640 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met minimum legal standards at that time. While the history shows previous failures in 2021 and 2022, the subsequent passes without advisory notes suggest that the owner addressed identified issues effectively to maintain legal operation. At 180,640 miles over 22 years, the Corsa averages approximately 8,211 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a small hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with exactly roughly 10,000 miles covered between August 2021 and August 2022, and another 10,000 miles between August 2022 and August 2023. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, given the high mileage and age of the vehicle. Although the 2023 test was clean, high mileage often masks developing surface corrosion on sills and rear arches which are common failure points for Vauxhall models of this era. The buyer should also check the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as these components typically undergo significant wear after the 150,000-mile mark. Because the last MOT was performed nearly three years ago, a fresh technical inspection is essential to ensure no new mechanical faults or fluid leaks have developed since the 2023 record.
