Buying Tips for the Vauxhall Corsa C

  • Electric power steering faults are common enough that a heavy steering feel should not be ignored as “just low tyre pressure”
  • Easytronic automated-manual cars must shift cleanly from rest and in reverse or they can become an uneconomical cheap car
  • Check the engine-management light behaviour on Twinport petrols because EGR and coil-pack issues are frequent
  • Rear axle corrosion and worn springs are common MOT-ticket items on hard-used examples
