2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · SS07 MAL

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 at 82,050 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without mechanical failures over the last three years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,826 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2023 test at 74,705 miles and the May 2025 test at 82,050 miles shows a steady usage rate of approximately 3,672 miles per annum. This low overall mileage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage city cars. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed on the same day it passed, specifically on 15 May 2023 and 15 May 2024. Since no specific defects were listed for these failures, they likely relate to minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or structural rust in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre cracking, or seizing brake calipers. Check the date codes on the tyres and inspect the underside for surface corrosion, as the lack of MOT advisories does not guarantee the absence of age-related degradation in the chassis or exhaust system.
