2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L Petrol · YR54 HBX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass on 13 October 2025 at 110,547 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate rectification following minor pre-test failures. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed its initial test only days before passing upon re-test, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing specific mechanical defects to maintain compliance rather than allowing faults to accumulate over time. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 110,547 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,025 miles per year. This low usage profile is consistent across the records, with only 6,833 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 7,386 miles covered between 2024 and 2025. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components and increases the risk of surface corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity, specifically the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans, where age-related corrosion is common on vehicles of this era. Because the record shows no recorded advisories in the most recent tests, the inspector must check for weeping calipers or perished suspension bushes that may not yet reached a failure threshold. Given the recent failures, a thorough check of the braking system and lighting assembly is necessary to ensure that the issues causing the previous rejections were fully resolved rather than merely masked.
