Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage and a consistent pattern of tyre-related MOT issues. While the vehicle has passed its recent tests, the recurring maintenance requirements suggest a need for closer inspection of the suspension and alignment.
When viewing this specific Corsa, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The MOT history shows that every single recorded test since 2023 has involved issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This could indicate a simple lack of timely replacement, but it may also point to underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension components.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent wheel alignment or suspension work. Given the 1398cc engine, ensure the service history includes regular oil changes. Because the mileage is approaching 100,000, you should also check if major components like the timing chain or water pump have been addressed, as these are common considerations for this engine size at this mileage.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for younger drivers or commuters. Fuel economy for this model is typically average for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the high mileage. Expect more frequent visits for wear-and-tear items such as brakes, suspension components, and tyres, given the patterns seen in the MOT history. An estimated annual running cost would cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
A primary focus should be the tyres and wheels. The MOT history for CE66AKV shows repeated failures and advisories for tyres being 'worn on edge' (notably in 2024, 2025, and 2026). Inspect the tread depth across all four tyres and check for uneven wear patterns which could signal faulty tracking or worn bushings.
Additionally, check the electrical systems, specifically the headlamps, as the vehicle failed its 2024 MOT due to a non-working nearside dipped beam. Finally, given the 98,430 miles recorded in June 2026, inspect the underside of the car for any signs of excessive corrosion or leaks that may not have been flagged in the recent passing tests.
This 2016 Vauxhall Corsa, finished in red, has covered 98,430 miles since its first registration in September 2016. The MOT history shows a consistent trend of tyre wear advisories and one failure in 2024 regarding a headlamp and tyre condition. With nearly 100,000 miles on the clock, this 1.4L petrol model is approaching a high-mileage bracket for its age.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Vauxhall Corsa model to provide a comparative benchmark.
