2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · OU59 ABV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in December 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in the last two testing cycles. This suggests that minor issues are being identified and rectified shortly before the annual test date, indicating that the car is kept to a minimum legal standard for road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage of nearly 19,000 miles between October 2023 and December 2024, followed by roughly 30,000 miles in the following year leading up to the December 2025 test. This fluctuating usage suggests the car is used for shorter trips, which can sometimes lead to accelerated wear on rubber components and brakes compared to consistent high-mileage commuting. While the recent records are clean of major mechanical failures, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection for structural rust, which is a common failure point for Corsas of this era. Given the age, attention should be paid to the suspension components, specifically the bushes and shock absorbers, which may degrade over time irrespective of low mileage. Additionally, checking the brake lines for corrosion and leaks is advisable to ensure the recent passes are not masking long-term mechanical aging.
