Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough check of the braking system. The 2024 failure specifically cited worn and pitted front brake discs, and the 2023 record noted corrosion on a rear brake hose. Ensure all discs and pads have been replaced recently and not just 'rectified' to pass the test.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the suspension and tyres. The 2023 MOT recorded a worn offside front Macpherson strut top mount, and there is a history of sidewall damage to tyres. Check the tread depth and the condition of the sidewalls on all four tyres to ensure they aren't prone to the same nicking or cutting seen in previous years.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for younger drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Corsa is typically moderate, suitable for urban and suburban driving.
Maintenance costs for this model are usually predictable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like brake discs, pads, and tyres, which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, fall in the mid-range for a small petrol hatchback.
Specifically inspect the front braking setup. The MOT history shows a failure in 2024 due to pitted and scored discs, so look for any signs of uneven wear or excessive vibration when braking. Also, check the rear brake hoses for any signs of corrosion, as this was an advisory in 2023.
Examine the lighting system carefully. The vehicle failed in 2024 due to a non-working nearside dipped beam and incorrect offside headlamp aim. Ensure all bulbs are functional and the headlight alignment is correct. Finally, check the front suspension components, specifically the Macpherson struts, to ensure the play noted in the 2023 MOT has been professionally addressed.
This 2013 grey Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 petrol has covered 85,042 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,816 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in October 2024 involving brake discs, headlamps, and a tyre. Although the 2026 MOT was passed without defects, the vehicle has experienced recurring issues with tyres and braking components.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
