Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding immediate
When viewing this specific black Corsa, your first priority should be to negotiate the price downwards to account for the recent MOT advisories. The July 2026 test explicitly noted that the rear brake discs are pitted or scored and the pads are wearing thin; these are not merely suggestions but indicate that brake replacement is imminent.
Verify the service history to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for turbo diesel longevity. Check the condition of all four tyres, as the vehicle has a history of MOT failures and advisories related to tyre wear and punctures (notably in 2024 and 2025).
As a 1.5L diesel, this Corsa is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway journeys. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption compared to petrol equivalents, though tax and insurance will vary based on your specific profile and the vehicle's Euro 6 compliance for ULEZ zones.
Maintenance costs for this model typically include periodic brake replacements and tyre changes, both of which have appeared in this vehicle's recent MOT history. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance.
Focus heavily on the braking system. Given the July 2026 MOT advisory regarding pitted rear discs and thin pads, inspect the rear brake assembly closely and ask if these have been addressed since the test.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the tyres. The vehicle has a recorded history of windscreen wiper failure (2024) and tyre issues (2024 and 2025). Ensure the tyres have even tread depth across the width of the tyre to rule out alignment issues, which were hinted at by the 'worn on edge' failure in 2024.
This 2021 Vauxhall Corsa Elite Nav Turbo D is a diesel-powered hatchback with 41,844 miles on the clock. Based on its age, the mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 10,520 per year. The MOT history shows a mix of tyre and wiper issues, with the most recent test in July 2026 highlighting worn rear brake discs and pads.
Aggregate data from 218 similar vehicles shows an 87.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including windscreen wipers and drive shaft joints.
