Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a pattern of
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise checking the recent repairs made following the September 2025 failure. Specifically, ensure that both front tyres have been replaced and that the nearside rear shock absorber has been swapped due to the recorded serious fluid leak.
Ask the seller for evidence of these specific repairs. Given the recurring issues with lighting (headlamps and position lamps) and tyre wear in 2024 and 2025, you should also check the condition of all bulbs and the tread depth on all four tyres. A full service history should be sought to complement the MOT record, as the MOT only covers safety and environmental standards, not mechanical maintenance.
As a 1.2L petrol engine, this Corsa is designed for economy, typically sitting in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for newer drivers. However, at this age and mileage, maintenance costs may increase due to wear-and-tear items.
Expect typical running costs for a small hatchback, but be mindful that the MOT history shows a tendency for consumable items like tyres and bulbs to require frequent attention. Estimated annual running costs are influenced heavily by your annual mileage and insurance profile.
A primary inspection point should be the suspension system. The September 2025 MOT recorded a serious fluid leak from the nearside rear shock absorber, so check for any signs of weeping or dampness on all shock absorbers.
Secondly, inspect the lighting and visibility. The vehicle has a history of headlamp lens issues (reduced light output) and position lamp failures. Check that the headlamp lenses are clear and not clouded, and that all bulbs are functioning correctly. Finally, check the condition of the tyres; the MOT history shows repeated failures for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, which may indicate alignment issues.
This 2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 petrol has covered 112,081 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. The vehicle's history shows frequent MOT failures related to tyre wear, lighting, and suspension components. At over 112,000 miles, it has significantly exceeded the model's average annual mileage of 5,816.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
