Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for buyers see
Prioritise checking whether the extensive list of advisories from April 2024—specifically the worn tyres and pitted brake discs—were actually replaced or merely monitored. You should also ask for evidence that the brake imbalance failure from March 2023 was fully rectified rather than just patched for a re-test.
Given the age and mileage of this 1.3L diesel engine, check the service history for the timing belt and water pump replacement intervals, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. Negotiate the price based on the current state of the exhaust system, as the most recent MOT indicates the silencer is deteriorating.
The 1.3L diesel engine is designed for fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage users. However, as a 2010 model, it will fall into an older tax bracket and insurance group, which should be verified against current rates.
Maintenance costs for this model often revolve around wear-and-tear items. The MOT history for this specific car highlights a pattern of tyre and brake wear, suggesting that annual maintenance budgets should account for these frequent replacements alongside standard diesel servicing.
Carefully inspect the exhaust system, specifically the rear silencer, as the October 2025 MOT flagged it as deteriorated; this aligns with aggregate data showing exhausts as a top failure reason for this model. Check the condition of all four tyres and the front brake discs to ensure the issues noted in April 2024 have been resolved.
Additionally, examine the nearside rear shock absorber for any signs of oil leaking, as 'light misting' was previously recorded. Finally, check for any uneven braking feel during a test drive, referencing the 2023 failure for brake imbalance across the front axle.
This blue 2010 Vauxhall Corsa diesel has covered 109,239 miles. Its MOT history shows a pass in October 2025 with an advisory for a deteriorated rear silencer, following a period in April 2024 where numerous advisories were issued for tyres, brake discs, and shock absorbers. The vehicle has one recorded failure in March 2023 related to brake imbalance.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with frequent failures typically linked to headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
