Our Verdict
This Vauxhall Corsa is a sensible choice
When inspecting this 1.2L Corsa, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOTs do not reflect mechanical maintenance. Check that all electronic components and lights are functioning correctly, as these are common areas for attention in small hatchbacks.
Given the mileage has reached over 82,000 miles, you should negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance requirements for a vehicle of this age. Ask for evidence of recent brake, tyre, and suspension work, even though these have not triggered recent MOT failures.
The 1229cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for newer or budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Corsa is typically efficient for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model are usually manageable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake pads. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, the aggregate data for Vauxhall Corsas highlights headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust components as common failure points. It is wise to inspect the headlamp clarity and check for any signs of exhaust corrosion or rattling.
Additionally, listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces, as coil springs are a known statistical failure reason for this model. Check the tyre tread and condition, as well as the brake pad thickness, to ensure they align with the clean MOT history.
This 2013 grey Vauxhall Corsa has covered 82,331 miles since its first registration in September 2013. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes since 2021, with no defects recorded in the most recent inspections. While the mileage is higher than the model's average annual figure of 5,816, the recent testing history appears consistent.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% average MOT pass rate, with common issues involving headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust systems.
