2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · PF57 ABU

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its MOT compliance, following a successful test on 23 October 2025 at 158,287 miles. The recent history shows a pattern of failures immediately followed by passes, specifically on 22 October 2025 and 31 October 2024. These consecutive failures and passes suggest that minor, non-specified defects are being identified and rectified promptly to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy. While the record does not detail the specific nature of these failures, the lack of recurring advisories indicates that the vehicle is being maintained sufficiently to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age. The car has covered 158,287 miles over 19 years, averaging approximately 8,331 miles annually. The data shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 134,596 miles in October 2023 to 144,786 miles in November 2024, and finally reaching 158,287 miles by October 2025. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which can often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. Because the MOT record does not explicitly list the specific faults that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, a physical inspection is necessary to assess the current state of consumables. You should pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically the coil springs and bushes, as well as the brake discs and calipers for signs of uneven wear or binding. Given the age and mileage, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and subframes is also essential, as the MOT record provides no information regarding the presence of surface or structural rust.
