2005 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · KM55 YDB

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 19 May 2025. While the initial test on that same day resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, the immediate pass suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly without indicating a systemic mechanical failure. The history over the last two years shows a vehicle that is being kept to a passing standard without recurring mechanical faults or escalating advisories. Mileage data indicates a consistent but low usage pattern over the last recorded period. Between January 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 3,477 miles, moving from 112,168 to 115,645 miles. This represents very low annual mileage for a twenty-year-old vehicle, suggesting it is likely used for short local trips or kept sparingly. There is a significant gap of fourteen months between the January 2023 and May 2024 tests, but the lack of recorded defects suggests no high-stress operation occurred during that interval. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion that may bypass clean MOT records if not yet perforated. Given the low mileage, check for age-related rubber degradation such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which can perish due to time rather than wear. Inspect the brake system for signs of pitting or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on discs and lack of fluid movement.
