2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · RE08 SFU

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 6 January 2026 at 122,360 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This record indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared five consecutive annual inspections without a single failure or minor fault flagged by the examiner. Such a consistent history suggests that the vehicle has received diligent care and that the primary mechanical systems are currently functioning within acceptable parameters. The total recorded mileage of 122,360 over an 18-year lifespan averages approximately 6,798 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The testing intervals remain regular, with the exception of a slightly extended gap between the January 2022 and December 2022 tests. During this period, the owner covered roughly 7,000 miles, which is consistent with the car’s historical usage rate. The lack of any recorded advisories across these five years is notable for a Vauxhall Corsa of this vintage, implying that the previous owner proactively addressed wear items before they reached the point of failure. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not fully captured by the MOT, specifically the condition of the clutch and the state of the drivetrain, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this mileage. While the test history shows no structural corrosion, you should still inspect the sills and floor pans for any signs of surface rust or previous repairs that might have been missed by a standard inspection. Given the age of the vehicle, verify that the timing chain or belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item that does not appear in the DVSA test data.
