Our Verdict

This is a strong used buy with a clean five-year MOT record and sensible mileage for its age. We'd recommend viewing it promptly as well-maintained 2018 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 petrols like this blue example are popular with buyers.

With five consecutive passes and no advisories, this Corsa looks well cared for, but you should still ask for the full service history to confirm routine oil changes and timing chain checks have been done at the correct intervals. Negotiate on price using the 72,599-mile figure — it is average rather than low for a 2018 car, so there is room to reflect fair wear. As a 1.4 petrol, the Corsa is one of the simpler variants, but verify the clutch and gearbox feel smooth on a test drive given the mileage.

The 1.4-litre petrol Corsa typically returns around 45-50 mpg in mixed driving, keeping weekly fuel costs modest for a commuter. Road tax for a 2018 petrol of this size is usually in the lower bands, and insurance groups for the Corsa 1.4 are generally low, making it cheap to cover for new drivers. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £900-£1,100.

The MOT history shows no failures and no advisories across all five tests, so there are no specific failure types to investigate from the record — but you should still check for general wear such as tyre condition, brake disc thickness and suspension bush condition not flagged at the last test. On this 1398cc petrol model, listen for any timing chain rattle on a cold start and confirm the coolant and oil levels are clean. Inspect the blue paintwork for parking scuffs and check the interior for seat and trim wear consistent with the 72,599 miles shown.

The 2018 Vauxhall Corsa registered MH14BAR has covered 72,599 miles as of its most recent MOT on 2025-04-12, which is reasonable for a seven-year-old petrol supermini. Every MOT from 2021 to 2025 has passed with no defects recorded, showing consistent upkeep. The 1.4-litre petrol engine is a straightforward, well-proven unit and the blue colour is a common but presentable choice.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Corsa to reference against this example.
