Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a stable trend in terms of pass rates, with the most recent test on 16 October 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor issues, specifically a failure on 10 June 2024 due to a non-functional rear fog lamp and an advisory on 30 June 2025 regarding perished or cracking rear tyres on both sides. The transition from a lighting failure to a tyre advisory suggests that while major mechanical failures are absent from the record, consumable items have required attention. The recorded mileage of 68,901 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,656 miles per year. The MOT records show consistent annual testing between June 2023 and October 2025, indicating regular usage rather than long periods of inactivity. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, and the mileage progression appears steady across the documented intervals. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres, given the advisory for perishing rubber noted in the June 2025 test. While the most recent October 2025 test showed no defects, the previous warning about sidewall cracking or perishing indicates a need for a physical inspection of the rubber's integrity and age. Beyond tyres, the record provides no evidence of issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, but these components should still be checked as they fall outside the specific faults noted in this history. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

This 2017 Vauxhall Corsa is a solid option for buyers seeking a predictable small petrol car. The recent clean MOT history suggests the vehicle has been kept in a compliant state following its single failure in 2024.

When inspecting this specific 1.4L petrol model, check that the service history matches the mileage intervals, particularly as the car approaches the 70,000-mile mark. While the MOT history is relatively clean, you should verify that the 2024 failure was rectified properly and ask for the specific reason for that failure.

Negotiate based on the fact that while the recent MOTs are clear, the car is now nearing a period where more significant maintenance items, such as brake discs or suspension components, may require attention. Ensure there are no signs of uneven tyre wear, which can sometimes be an indicator of suspension issues common in smaller hatchbacks.

The 1398cc petrol engine is typically found in a mid-range insurance group, making it relatively affordable for younger drivers or those looking for low-cost motoring. Fuel economy for this era of Corsa is generally efficient for urban and suburban driving.

Maintenance costs for this model are usually predictable, with many parts being widely available and inexpensive to replace. Expect typical servicing costs for a small petrol hatchback, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brake pads as the mileage increases.

Focus your inspection on the areas around the 2024 MOT failure. Although the specific defect was not listed in the summary, any failure in a vehicle of this age often relates to lighting, wipers, or minor wear-and-tear items. Check all exterior lights and wiper functionality to ensure they meet current standards.

Given the 68,901 miles recorded, inspect the condition of the brake pads and discs, as well as the suspension bushings. Listen for any knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces, which can be common as these vehicles age.

Registered in August 2017, this grey 1.4L petrol Corsa has covered 68,901 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The MOT record shows one failure in June 2024 at 58,929 miles, but it has since achieved three consecutive passes with no defects or advisories recorded. The mileage is consistent with a vehicle used for regular commuting over its nine-year lifespan.

No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model to provide a comparative benchmark.
