2009 Vauxhall Corsavan 1.2L Diesel · WR09 ACJ

The 2009 Vauxhall CorsaVan demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-04-02 at 137,781 miles. However, the prior day’s failure at the same mileage without recorded defects raises ambiguity. No structural, braking, or emissions issues were noted in the last three valid tests (2024-03-05, 2023-03-15), suggesting consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the 2025 pass indicates the vehicle meets current standards, though the repeated 2023 test at 121,272 miles—both pass and fail—without defects implies potential administrative inconsistency rather than mechanical decline. The vehicle’s mileage of 137,781 miles aligns with its 17-year age, averaging 8,105 miles annually, a typical rate for its class. The MOT records show gradual mileage progression: 121,272 miles in 2023, rising to 127,959 by 2024, and 137,781 in 2025. No abrupt spikes or extended gaps in testing suggest regular upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. The 2025 pass confirms compliance, but the 2023 failure at identical mileage without recorded issues warrants scrutiny for potential test anomalies. A buyer should inspect the suspension, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which could cause intermittent failures. Structural corrosion, especially in the chassis or body seams, should be assessed, as rust can develop in older models. The absence of emissions or tyre-related advisories is positive, but the 2025 test’s lack of detail on minor wearables like wiper blades or steering components means a physical inspection is essential to confirm overall condition.
