2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · KL07 UVU

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following several mechanical setbacks. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 149,955 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This represents a significant improvement over the 2022 and 2024 tests where multiple mechanical and wear-related faults were flagged. At 149,955 miles, this 19-year-old Corsa averages approximately 7,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent annual accumulation, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025, and approximately 4,400 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. This regular use suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent seals from drying out. A physical inspection should focus on the components that have shown recurring wear or previous failure. The 2022 test highlighted an oil leak, a worn Macpherson strut bush, and a noisy offside front wheel bearing; while these were not mentioned in more recent tests, the buyer should verify that the leak remains contained and the suspension operates without knocking. The 2023 failure due to an exhaust lambda reading suggests a past sensor or catalytic converter issue that should be monitored for continued fuel efficiency and clean emissions. The record also shows a history of neglected consumable maintenance, specifically regarding tyre condition and uneven wear noted in 2022 and 2024. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer must also check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, as these are common failure points for this era of Corsa. The transition from multiple-defect passes in 2022 to a clean sheet in 2025 suggests the current owner is proactive with repairs, but the high mileage necessitates close scrutiny of rubber components and brake hardware.
