Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage example of
The primary point of negotiation should be the tyres. The MOT history shows advisories for perishing rear tyres in 2025, and both front and rear tyres in 2026; these should be replaced before purchase. Ensure there is a documented service history that aligns with the low mileage, specifically checking for regular oil changes to maintain the 1.4L petrol engine.
Verify that the repairs from the May 2023 failure—specifically the track rod end dust covers and rear shock absorbers—were carried out by a reputable garage. Given the vehicle's age, check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody, although this has not yet appeared as an MOT failure for this specific car.
The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, though fuel economy will be typical for a non-hybrid vehicle of this era. Insurance costs should be relatively low as the Corsa sits in a modest insurance group, making it accessible for various driver profiles.
Annual running costs will include the standard VED road tax for a 2015 petrol model and routine maintenance. Based on the mileage and engine size, expect moderate annual servicing costs, though the low annual usage may reduce the frequency of wear-and-tear replacements.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and perishing, as this has been flagged in the two most recent MOT tests (May 2025 and May 2026). Check the rear shock absorbers for any signs of oil leaking or 'misting', which caused a failure in 2023.
Additionally, inspect the front track rod end dust covers to ensure they are intact and not deteriorated, following the failure recorded in May 2023. While not flagged on this vehicle, be mindful of headlamps and coil springs, which are identified as top failure points for the Corsa model across aggregate data.
This blue 2015 Vauxhall Corsa has covered 46,512 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage of 5,816. The MOT history shows four passes and one failure over the last four years. Recent records indicate a recurring issue with tyre perishing that has persisted across the 2025 and 2026 tests.
The Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failures often relating to headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
