Our Verdict
This 2013 Vauxhall Corsa is a sensible option for those seeking a small petrol hatchback with a relatively clean recent MOT record. While it has experienced two MOT failures, the lack of recorded defects on those failures suggests they may have been minor or rectifiable items rather than major mechanical failures.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L Corsa, focus on the service history to see how the 1229cc engine has been maintained, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical upkeep. Given the age, check for any signs of corrosion on the underside and ensure the timing chain (if applicable to this specific engine variant) operates quietly.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has failed two MOT tests in its recent history. While no specific defects were listed in the data provided, you should ask the seller what the specific reasons for the 2023 and 2025 failures were to ensure they were minor items like bulb outages or wiper blades rather than more significant issues.
As a 1.2L petrol model, this Corsa is designed for economy, typically falling into a lower insurance group suitable for newer drivers. Fuel economy should be respectable for a small hatchback, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Corsa of this era are generally moderate, with many parts being widely available and relatively inexpensive to replace. Expect typical running costs to include annual servicing, occasional tyre replacements, and standard wear-and-tear items.
Because the MOT history shows two failures (in 2023 and 2025) without specific defect descriptions in the provided data, you must verify what those failures were. Ask for the previous MOT certificates or repair invoices to confirm if the failures were related to lighting, tyres, or braking components.
Check the condition of the tyres, brake pads, and discs, as these are common items that trigger MOT failures in small cars. Additionally, inspect the black paintwork for any signs of fading or significant scratches, and check all electrical components, including lights and indicators, to ensure they meet current standards.
Registered in September 2013, this black 1.2L petrol Corsa has covered 69,110 miles as of its most recent test in September 2025. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the two most recent years resulting in passes after initial failures. The mileage is consistent with a vehicle of this age, and the absence of recorded defects in the most recent pass is a positive indicator for a car of this vintage.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Vauxhall Corsa model to provide a comparative baseline.
