2009 Vauxhall Corsavan 1.2L Diesel · WR59 LRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worrying trend of deferred repairs and deteriorating components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 105,935 miles passed, the record reveals multiple advisories regarding perishing tyres and a newly identified oil leak. The appearance of an offside rear service brake binding in this test, following pitted front brake discs noted in 2024, suggests that the braking system is beginning to require significant mechanical attention to prevent future failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 90,580 miles and October 2024 at 101,132 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,500 miles, followed by another 4,800 miles in the subsequent year. This steady, low mileage explains the state of the rubber components like the tyres and shock seals, which are failing due to age rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must inspect the suspension and braking systems closely, as the shock absorbers have shown light oil misting since at least 2023. The recurring mention of perishing and cracking across all four tyres indicates that they are likely reaching the end of their structural life and require immediate replacement. The oil leak flagged in the 2025 test needs a professional diagnosis to determine if it is a minor seep or a more serious seal failure. Given the previous 2024 failure for a major exhaust leak and emissions failure, the structural integrity of the entire exhaust system should also be verified for corrosion to ensure the previous repairs were thorough.
