Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Given that this vehicle has been driven more than the average Corsa, you should prioritise reviewing the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed at appropriate intervals. Use the higher mileage as a point of negotiation, as it exceeds the model's average annual usage of 5,753 miles.
Check for any evidence of recent work that might explain the same-day fail/pass entries in 2023 and 2024, although no specific defects were recorded in the MOT history for those instances. Ensure all electronic components are functioning correctly during your test drive.
The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, though fuel costs will vary based on driving style. As a common model, insurance groups are generally accessible, and parts are widely available across the UK, keeping routine maintenance affordable.
Annual costs will include the standard petrol road tax for a 2018 registration and typical servicing for a vehicle approaching 70,000 miles. Expect moderate expenditure on consumables like tyres and brake pads.
Although this specific car has no recorded MOT defects, you should inspect the known weak points for the Corsa model. Specifically, check the headlamps for any clouding or failure and inspect the suspension components, including the coil springs and ball joints, which are common failure points across the model range.
With nearly 70,000 miles on the clock, examine the tread depth and condition of the tyres and check the brake discs for significant wear. Ensure the grey paintwork is consistent and free from major blemishes.
This grey 2018 Vauxhall Corsa with a 1398cc petrol engine has covered 69,904 miles. While the mileage is above the model average, the MOT record is strong, with the most recent test in June 2025 returning a pass with no defects. The vehicle has a consistent testing history since 2023.
The Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common issues typically relating to lighting and suspension components.
