Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a small petrol hatchback, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The consistent pass history suggests a vehicle that has been kept within regulatory standards over the last few years.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L Corsa, focus on the reason for the MOT failure recorded on 2025-07-17 at 75,969 miles. Although the data provided does not list the specific defect, any failure right before a pass should be verified with the seller to ensure the repair was completed correctly.
Check the service history for regular oil changes, which are vital for the 1229cc engine. Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the suspension components, specifically the ball joints and coil springs, as well as the condition of the headlamps, which are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
As a 1.2L petrol vehicle, this Corsa is designed for economy. You can expect relatively low insurance groups and manageable fuel consumption typical of a small-displacement hatchback.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally considered moderate, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, sits in the mid-range for a vehicle of this age and engine size.
Based on the aggregate data for Vauxhall Corsas, you should specifically inspect the headlamps for clouding or electrical issues, and check the suspension for any knocks or rattles that might indicate worn ball joints or failing coil springs.
Because this vehicle has reached nearly 76,000 miles, also inspect the condition of the tyres and brake discs. While the MOT history for this specific registration has been largely free of advisories since 2022, the recent failure in 2025 warrants a close look at the underside of the car to ensure no recent structural or mechanical repairs were required.
This 2013 red Vauxhall Corsa features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 75,970 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. The MOT history shows a series of passes between 2022 and 2024 with no recorded defects, though it did encounter a failure immediately prior to its most recent pass in July 2025. While the mileage is higher than the model aggregate average of 5,753 miles per year, the record is relatively consistent.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
