Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this specific 1.4L Corsa, prioritize a thorough check of the cooling system. The September 2025 MOT failure specifically cited a coolant leak, which can lead to significant engine issues if not addressed correctly. Ensure that any repairs made to the leak are documented and that the system has been pressure tested.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and braking components. The recent history shows issues with both offside rear tyre degradation and front brake pad wear. You should also verify that the windscreen wipers and fuel cap are in good working order, as these were flagged as ineffective in the 2025 failure. Ask the seller for evidence of recent work carried out to rectify the faults identified in the September 2025 MOT.
As a 1398cc petrol model, running costs are generally moderate for a small hatchback. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and the maintenance of the cooling system and tyres.
Insurance groups for this era of Corsa are typically mid-range, and tax bands vary depending on the specific CO2 output. Maintenance costs for this model often involve routine items like brakes and tyres, which have appeared in this vehicle's recent MOT history. Expect annual running costs to be consistent with a high-mileage petrol hatchback of this age.
The most critical area to inspect is the engine bay for signs of the coolant leak mentioned in the 2025 MOT. Look for dried residue or dampness around hoses and the water pump. Because the 2025 failure also noted a fuel cap sealing issue, check that the cap fits securely and the seal is not perished.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly, specifically looking for the cracking or perishing noted on the offside rear tyre in the recent MOT. Check the brake pads and discs, as the front pads were flagged as wearing thin in September 2025. Finally, test the windscreen wipers to ensure they clear the glass effectively, addressing the failure noted in the same period.
This 2014 grey Vauxhall Corsa has covered 117,964 miles since its first registration in February 2014. The MOT history shows a pattern of recent failures, most notably a coolant leak and tyre issues in September 2025. Given the high mileage and the nature of the recent defects, this vehicle requires a thorough mechanical inspection.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
