2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · SL59 TVD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. The most recent test in September 2022 at 105,464 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting that any mechanical issues identified during previous failures were addressed promptly. However, because no MOT has been recorded for nearly four years, the vehicle is currently overdue for testing and its present roadworthiness status cannot be verified through DVSA data. The mileage accumulation is consistent with low-intensity urban driving, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over its seventeen-year life. The car covered 7,644 miles between the October 2021 test at 97,892 miles and the September 2022 test at 105,464 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. This low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of dry-rot failure and rubber component degradation regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity, particularly under the chassis, as Corsa models from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear subframe. While the history shows no specific advisories for suspension bushes or brakes, the long gap in recent testing necessitates a check for perished hoses and seized brake calipers. Given the time since the last record, verifying the state of the brake fluid and tyre condition is essential, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from flat spotting and fluid oxidation when left stationary for extended periods.
