2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · ML09 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-05 at 94,857 miles showed a PASS with no defects, though a duplicate FAILED entry on the same date lacks defect details, raising potential data inconsistencies. Previous tests from 2023 to 2025 at 76,350 to 89,226 miles also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting the car has been well-maintained in terms of critical systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,857 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 5,580 miles annually, a low figure for its age that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Gaps between MOTs align with standard annual intervals, and no sudden mileage spikes are recorded, which reduces immediate concerns about excessive wear on consumables or drivetrain components. However, low mileage can sometimes mask hidden issues, such as corrosion in stationary periods, which requires physical inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for dry rot or stiffness, as low mileage may limit natural wear assessment. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop during inactivity. Structural integrity, especially underbody rust, warrants scrutiny, as corrosion risks increase with age regardless of mileage. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these checks, as MOT tests focus on current compliance rather than long-term degradation.
