Our Verdict
A fair example of a 2016 Corsa, though t
Focus your attention on the chassis and braking system. The MOT history shows a failure for wheel bearings in 2024 and ongoing advisories for brake discs and pads; ensure these have been replaced rather than just patched. Check for a comprehensive service history that supports the 74,034 miles recorded to ensure the engine has been serviced at appropriate intervals.
Negotiate based on the current advisories. The most recent test identifies a damaged track rod end dust cover, which, while not a failure, is a point of wear that will eventually require a part replacement to prevent dirt ingress into the joint.
The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. You should verify the specific VED tax band for this 2016 registration and expect insurance to fall within a mid-range group typical for small hatchbacks.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, but the MOT history for this specific car suggests a higher frequency of suspension and brake wear. Budget for these recurring consumables to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Specifically inspect the front suspension and steering, as the June 2026 MOT flagged a damaged offside front track rod end dust cover. Review the braking system thoroughly, given the thin pads noted in 2025 and worn/pitted discs noted in 2024.
Listen for any humming or droning sounds during a test drive, which could indicate a return of the wheel bearing issues that caused the vehicle to fail its MOT in May 2024. Additionally, check the offside front shock absorber, which was noted as having a reduced damping effect in 2024.
This white 1.4L petrol Corsa has recorded 74,034 miles, which is slightly above the model average. While it has a generally consistent testing history, a failure in May 2024 required wheel bearing replacements, and subsequent tests have flagged issues with brake pads and track rod ends.
The Corsa has a 76.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failures across the model range often relating to headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
