Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When viewing this 1.4L petrol Corsa, check the service history to see if the oil changes have been performed at regular intervals, as MOT records do not confirm maintenance. Given the low mileage, ensure that the tyres and brakes have not suffered from age-related perishing or corrosion despite light use.
Negotiate based on the documented history; while the MOTs are largely clean, always ask if the failure recorded in March 2025 was rectified immediately. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension issues, a common area of concern for this model.
The 1398cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for newer drivers or budget-conscious commuters. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically efficient for urban and mixed driving.
Maintenance costs for a Corsa are generally predictable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low due to the vehicle's age and engine size.
Based on aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints, as these are frequent failure points across the wider Corsa range. While this specific vehicle has no recent recorded failures for these items, they remain key inspection points.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion and check the condition of the suspension components. Since the last MOT in March 2026 recorded no defects, the vehicle's current mechanical presentation appears consistent with that result.
This 2018 grey Vauxhall Corsa has covered 33,113 miles since its first registration in July 2018. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent two passing without any recorded defects. The mileage is notably lower than the model average for a vehicle of this age.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failures relating to headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
