Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a used ca
When inspecting this specific 1.4L Corsa, verify that the coil spring issue identified in the 2025 MOT has been professionally rectified. Although the 2026 MOT passed without defects, it is always prudent to check the suspension components for any signs of wear or noise during a test drive.
Given the vehicle's age and mileage, you should request evidence of regular servicing to complement the MOT records. While the MOT history is relatively clean, pay close attention to the brake pads and tyres, as these are common consumables that may require attention around the 50,000-mile mark.
The 1398cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it suitable for various driver profiles. Fuel economy for this model variant is typically efficient for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for the Corsa are typically manageable, as parts for this model are widely available in the UK. You should budget for standard servicing and occasional replacements of items like coil springs or bulbs, which are noted as common failure points for this model aggregate.
Based on the vehicle's specific history, pay close attention to the front suspension. The 2025 MOT failure for a fractured offside front coil spring indicates this is a known area of concern. Ensure there are no knocks or clunks when turning the steering wheel or driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, since 'headlamp' and 'exhaust' are listed as top failure reasons for the wider Corsa model aggregate, check that all light clusters are functional and that there are no excessive exhaust noises or visible leaks from the system.
This 2016 blue Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 petrol has covered 48,392 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,816 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in August 2025 due to a fractured offside front coil spring. The most recent test in August 2026 returned no defects, suggesting recent maintenance has addressed previous issues.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, with coil springs, headlamps, and exhausts being the most frequent reasons for failure.
