2009 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Diesel · WR09 AAO

The current roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Corsa is stable, with the vehicle achieving a clean pass on 10 January 2025 at 111,254 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories during the most recent inspection indicates that the vehicle is currently in a sound mechanical state. While the history shows two instances of failed tests immediately preceding successful passes in December 2022 and November 2023, these failures appear to be administrative or minor in nature, as no specific defects were logged against the vehicle during those sessions. The recorded mileage of 111,254 over seventeen years averages approximately 6,544 miles annually, which sits well within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. The pattern of usage is consistent, with the odometer advancing by roughly 9,400 miles between the December 2022 and November 2023 tests, and a further 10,400 miles leading up to the January 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the car has remained in regular use rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Corsas that may not always be captured in the MOT test until they reach an advanced state of wear. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion is necessary, particularly around the sills and subframe mounting points. While the recent MOT history is clean, ensure the cooling system and timing chain are functioning correctly, as these mechanical elements are critical to the longevity of this specific engine platform and are not covered by the scope of a standard annual test.
