2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SE07 APU

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 27 August 2025 at 88,368 miles with no defects recorded. Earlier failures in 2024 and early 2025 have been resolved, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. Mileage has risen from 67,894 miles on 4 October 2023 to 77,983 miles on 9 October 2024 and then to 88,364 miles by 12 August 2025, reflecting roughly 10–11 k miles per year. For a 2007 model this equates to about 4,650 miles per annum, well below the typical usage for a vehicle of its age and suggesting light duty or periods of inactivity rather than high‑stress operation. A prospective buyer should verify that the front exhaust leak noted on 12 August 2025 has been repaired and that no residual emissions issues remain. Inspection of the off‑side rear bumper mounting for corrosion is advisable, given the 9 October 2024 advisory, and the condition of the rear brake pipe should be checked for any lingering excessive corrosion. Front brake pads, which were flagged as less than 1.5 mm thick and binding on the near‑side in the 2024 failure, must be examined for wear and proper operation. The lower suspension arm bushes, recorded as worn but not excessively mobile in 2023, should be assessed for any progression of play. Finally, confirm that the rear upper position lamp and the engine MIL indicator are functional, as both were cited as failures in the 2024 test.
