2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.6L Petrol · UN59 TED

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 May 2025 at 117,238 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive. The record shows a failure just nine days prior to that pass at 117,237 miles, though the provided data indicates no specific defects recorded for that failure. This suggests a potential administrative error or a very minor non-conformity issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-average usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded mileage data between the May 2022 test at 106,314 miles and the June 2023 test at 117,114 miles, where the car covered nearly 11,000 miles in a single year. Since June 2024, the vehicle has covered only 117 miles, suggesting it may have been stationary for extended periods recently, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids despite low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and long standing rather than high mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perished rubber and check the brake system for surface corrosion or seized pistons. Given the age of this Corsa, a thorough check of the structural integrity around sills and wheel arches is essential, as hidden rust often develops in these models regardless of mileage. Verify the age of the tyres, as low-mileage rubber often hides rot that compromises lateral grip.
