Our Verdict
This 2016 Vauxhall Corsa in blue represents a very sound purchase for a UK buyer, backed by exceptionally clean recent MOT history and low mileage. With only 47,585 miles on the clock, it offers plenty of life ahead with very minimal mechanical worry.
When viewing this 1.4-litre Corsa, inspect the paperwork carefully to verify the nature of the same-day fail-and-pass cycles noted in the 2024 and 2025 MOT records; these are frequently minor administrative issues like blown bulbs or windscreen wiper replacements rather than structural faults, but it pays to confirm. Ensure the service book is fully stamped to match the low mileage progression from 28,885 miles in 2023 to 47,585 miles in 2025. Negotiate on the strength of a fresh vehicle health check and confirm that all electrics, heating, and air conditioning function correctly.
The 1398.0cc petrol engine sits in a modest insurance group, making it an affordable proposition for younger motorists or those looking to keep running expenses low. Fuel economy for this variant is generally strong in mixed driving conditions, and road tax falls into a reasonable bracket for a 2016 hatchback. Typical maintenance is straightforward due to the Corsa's widespread popularity and the ready availability of parts across the UK.
Pay close attention to the bodywork and paint condition, specifically checking the blue finish for any car park dings or stone chips typical of a daily driver hatchback. Verify that the steering and suspension feel tight on a test drive, listening out for any knocks or rattles over speed bumps. Given that recent MOTs have recorded zero defects, double-check that all lights, tyres, and brakes are currently meeting legal standards and show even wear.
This petrol-powered Vauxhall Corsa, registered in November 2016 with a 1398.0cc engine, presents in remarkably healthy condition. The MOT record shows a consistent pattern of passing cleanly following initial same-day administrative re-tests in both 2024 and 2025, with zero advisory or major mechanical defects recorded across its history. Accumulating just 47,585 miles by September 2025, it has been driven well below the UK national average for its age.
While specific aggregate reliability data for this model variant is unavailable, the Corsa remains a ubiquitous sight on UK roads with a well-supported aftermarket and repair network.
