Our Verdict

Proceed with caution and budget for imme

When viewing this specific white Corsa, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and braking components. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or unevenly worn, including a failure in December 2025 and advisories in 2024 and 2026. Ensure all four tyres have ample tread and are not wearing unevenly on the edges, which could indicate alignment issues.

Request a detailed service history to see how often the brakes and tyres have been addressed. Given the 2024 failure regarding pitted or scored front brake discs, you should inspect the front discs for surface corrosion or uneven wear. Negotiate the price downwards if the tyres or brakes require immediate replacement upon purchase.

The 1.2L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for younger drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for a small hatchback, though actual MPG will depend on driving style and maintenance.

Maintenance costs for this Corsa will likely be influenced by the frequency of consumable replacements. Based on the MOT history, you should budget regularly for tyres and brake components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are expected to be moderate.

Specifically inspect the tyres on all four corners; the MOT history shows repeated issues with tread depth and uneven wear (notably the nearside rear in 2026 and offside front in 2024). Check the front brake discs for scoring or pitting, as this was a recorded failure in December 2024.

Additionally, verify the condition of the windscreen wipers and the ability of the blades to clear the glass effectively, following the failure noted in late 2024. Check the suspension components for any signs of unevenness that might explain the reported edge-wear on the tyres.

This 2020 Vauxhall Corsa SRi Nav Turbo has covered 59,406 miles since its registration in December 2020. The MOT history indicates several failures related to consumable items, specifically tyres and brake discs, alongside a wiper issue in 2024. The vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,165 miles per year.

Aggregate data for this model shows an 88% MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in windscreen wipers, brake pads, and tyres.
