2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · RO09 EJC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, though the record is outdated. The most recent test on 28 October 2021 at 166,471 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a technical failure on the same day that listed no faults. This anomaly suggests an administrative error or an immediate re-test pass without documented mechanical intervention. Since no tests have been recorded since late 2021, the vehicle is currently nearly five years overdue for its annual inspection, leaving its present mechanical condition and emissions status unknown. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between June 2018 and August 2019, the car covered 17,972 miles, while the interval between August 2019 and August 2020 saw another 15,568 miles. The gap of 4,169 miles between August 2020 and October 2021 indicates a period of lower usage prior to the final recorded test. However, the lack of data for the last five years is a significant concern, as high-mileage Vauxalls of this era often experience accelerated degradation regardless of previous consistency. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and rear mounting points, where corrosion is common on this model. Given the 166,000-mile mark, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of excessive wear or fatigue. Because the record lacks recent advisories for brake components or tyres, the tester should verify for binding calipers and uneven tyre wear to ensure maintenance was not neglected since the 2021 test.
