2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · VK09 DNJ

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 9 March 2026 at 101,287 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though it followed a failed attempt on 4 March 2026 at 101,269 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests from March 2023 through March 2025 all passed with no advisories recorded. The odometer shows low use for a 2009 vehicle, totalling 101,287 miles or roughly 5,958 miles per year. Between the 8 March 2023 test at 97,514 miles and the 6 March 2025 test at 100,190 miles the car covered only 2,676 miles, confirming long periods of light running or standing. The gap from 29 February 2024 at 98,845 miles to the 2026 failure at 101,269 miles adds just 2,424 miles, so wear on drivetrain and suspension consumables is likely minimal for the age. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underside corrosion given the 17-year age and low mileage encouraging moisture trapping when stationary. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration from inactivity rather than use. The clean advisory record means no recurring mechanical faults appear, but the unexplained March 2026 fail warrants confirmation the vehicle was presented correctly and free of latent issues. Given the sparse, defect-free history, a pre-purchase inspection of exhaust emissions, binding calipers, and tyre condition remains sensible. The previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current, with no skipped tests or worn-tyre failures across the timeline.
