Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a moder
When inspecting this Black Corsa SE, focus on the service history to supplement the MOT data, as the MOT only confirms basic roadworthiness rather than mechanical upkeep. Given the 1.2L petrol engine, check for consistent oil levels and smooth idling.
Because the vehicle has seen two MOT failures that were resolved on the same day, it is worth asking the seller what specifically caused those failures to ensure they were minor items rather than recurring issues. Check the tyre tread and brake pad thickness, as these are common wear items for a car of this age and mileage.
The 1199cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an economical choice for newer drivers or small families. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for urban and mixed driving.
Maintenance costs for a Vauxhall Corsa are usually moderate, with parts being widely available across the UK. You should budget for standard servicing intervals and potential wear-and-tear items like wipers or bulbs, which are noted as common failure points for this model aggregate.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the windscreen wipers and road wheel fixings, as these are the most frequent reasons for failure across the 16,294 vehicles analysed. Ensure the wipers clear the screen without streaking and that all wheel bolts are secure and free from heavy corrosion.
While this specific vehicle's recent MOTs did not list specific defects, you should still inspect the exterior trim and lighting, as these are standard areas of concern for small hatchbacks. Check the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
This 2020 Vauxhall Corsa SE presents with 35,098 miles on the clock, which is notably lower than the model average of 7,477 miles per year for its age. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent passing in December 2025 without any recorded defects. While there were two instances of MOT failures in 2023 and 2025, these were resolved during the same testing period.
The Vauxhall Corsa shows an average MOT pass rate of 87.6% across the sample of 16,294 vehicles.
