2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · WJ59 CWL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend over the last two years. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 146,701 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical requirements to maintain compliance, as the vehicle has successfully passed consecutive tests in 2024 and 2025 without advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 124,078 miles and the January 2025 test at 135,544 miles, the car covered 11,466 miles, followed by another 11,157 miles leading into the latest test. This regular usage indicates consistent operation, which is generally beneficial for aging components like engine seals and brake lines to prevent the drying and corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the clean pass records indicate basic mechanical health, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear areas typical of the Corsa platform at this mileage. The buyer should examine the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, as these are common points of failure for this era. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the thickness of the brake discs requires close scrutiny to ensure no significant play or thinning exists that has not yet triggered an MOT failure.
