2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · WN09 FXP

The Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 July 2025 at 127,312 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The July 2025 test shows a pass and a fail logged on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated on 31 May and 14 June 2024 where a fail at 113,066 miles preceded a pass at 113,752 miles, both also showing no defects. These paired entries suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and the absence of any advisories or failures on mechanical grounds indicates no worsening fault trajectory over the three-year window. Annual mileage averages close to 7,500 miles against the car's 2009 build date, a typical use profile for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 101,997 miles at the June 2023 test to 113,066 miles by May 2024, then 127,312 miles by July 2025, equating to roughly 11,000 to 13,500 miles in the later intervals, a mild uplift on the lifetime average but not extreme. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and zero recorded defects, so the clean sheet offers little insight into consumable or structural condition beyond confirmation the car cleared each examination. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the fact that no advisories were ever raised to flag wear. The same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 imply the vehicle may have been presented without prior preparation, so check for binding calipers or uneven tyre tread that a cursory test could miss. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes remains a known risk on this era of Vauxhall and warrants close visual scrutiny beneath the body, as the MOT record provides no reassurance on that front.
