Our Verdict
A sensible, low-mileage city car that appears well-maintained for its age. While it has had minor MOT setbacks, the recent clean pass suggests it is currently in a good roadworthy state.
When inspecting this Corsa, focus on the service history to back up the low 70,000 miles. You want to see evidence that the oil and filters have been changed regularly, regardless of the low mileage intervals, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related rubber degradation. Check for any signs of rust on the sills and wheel arches, which are common for Vauxalls of this era.
Since the car failed MOT in 2024 and 2025, ask the owner exactly what the faults were. If they were minor items like bulbs, tyres, or brake light adjustments, it indicates a proactive owner. However, if the failures were structural or mechanical, ensure those repairs were carried out with high-quality parts.
The 1364cc engine is typically found in a mid-range insurance group, making it affordable for first-time buyers. You can expect around 45-52 MPG depending on driving style, and the road tax for this year of Corsa is generally relatively low.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically inexpensive as parts are widely available and easy to fit. Budget for an annual servicing of roughly £150-£250, plus for occasional wear and tear items identified between MOT tests.
Pay close attention to the tyres and brakes, as the recent MOT failures (though not listed with specific defects) suggest these are the areas that require regular attention. Check the depth of the tyre treads and inspect the clutch engagement for any slipping, which can happen on older manual petrol cars.
Under the hood, look for any coolant leaks around the head gasket or water pump. Given the age of the vehicle, also check the rubber hoses for any cracking or perishness, as these can become brittle over 19 years even if the car hasn't been driven many miles.
This 2007 Vauxhall Corsa sits at approximately 70,437 miles, which is significantly below the average expected for a 19-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with only two failures in the last two years that were rectified immediately before testing. The 1.4L petrol engine is a balanced choice for urban driving, offering decent economy and simplicity for younger drivers.
The Corsa D generation is known for being a robust city car, provided the cooling system is kept well-maintained to avoid overheating issues.
