Our Verdict
This Vauxhall Corsa presents a clean recent MOT history with no recorded defects in the last four tests. It is a sensible choice for a buyer seeking a low-mileage city car, provided the price reflects its age.
When inspecting this Corsa, focus on the transition between the 2025 failure and the subsequent pass. As the failure occurred at 39,140 miles and the pass at 39,142 miles, it indicates a minor issue that was addressed quickly. Ask the seller for documentation regarding this specific repair to understand what was rectified.
Beyond the MOT records, ensure you verify the physical condition of the bodywork and interior, as these are not captured in test data. Check that all electrical features, including the infotainment system and air conditioning, are functioning as expected, as these are common areas for wear in older Corsas.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving, though real-world fuel consumption will depend on your specific journey types. As a 2015 model, you should check the VED (road tax) band, as rates for this model year are based on CO2 emissions.
Insurance for this vehicle typically falls into lower-to-mid groups, making it a viable option for newer drivers. Annual running costs, factoring in fuel, insurance, tax, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be between £1,100 and £1,400, depending on your annual mileage and local garage labour rates.
While the recent MOT history is free of advisories, you should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Pay close attention to the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items that may not have been flagged during the last test but could require replacement soon. Check the condition of the suspension components for any signs of corrosion or play.
Since the vehicle has a 1.2-litre engine, listen for any unusual noises during a cold start, which could indicate timing chain wear—a known point of interest for this engine family. Ensure the clutch operation is smooth and that there are no signs of slipping during a test drive.
Registered in December 2015, this grey Vauxhall Corsa with a 1.2-litre petrol engine has covered 39,142 miles. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes since 2022, with a single failure in April 2025 that was immediately rectified on the same day. The vehicle's mileage is significantly lower than average for a car of this age, suggesting light usage over its eleven-year lifespan.
No specific aggregate reliability data is available for this model, so buyers should rely on individual inspection and the vehicle's specific MOT history.
