Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
When inspecting this specific 2013 Corsa, focus on the service history to confirm that the low mileage has been matched by regular oil changes, which is vital for the 1229cc petrol engine. Because the mileage is so low, check for signs of age-related wear on rubber components like belts and hoses, as these can perish even if not heavily used.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT; while the 2026 test showed no defects, ensure that the brake pad issue noted in 2025 has been addressed. Ask for proof of work regarding the front brakes to ensure the vehicle is ready for immediate use.
The 1.2L engine is designed for economy, typically placing this Corsa in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for new drivers or urban commuters. Fuel economy should be predictable for a petrol hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brakes. Based on the low mileage, annual running costs (including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance) are estimated to be relatively low.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The 2025 MOT history specifically flagged front brake pads as wearing thin, so verify if these were replaced before the clean 2026 test.
Additionally, while this specific vehicle has no recorded failures, the wider model aggregate data suggests that headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints are common failure points for Vauxhall Corsas. Inspect the headlight clarity and listen for any knocks or rattles from the suspension during a test drive to ensure these common issues are not present.
This blue 1.2L petrol Corsa has covered just 43,754 miles in its 13-year life, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2022, with only one advisory regarding front brake pads in 2025. Given the low annual mileage, this vehicle represents a well-preserved example of this specific engine variant.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, with common issues typically involving headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
