Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When viewing this Corsa, prioritize checking the engine management system. The 2026 MOT failure noted an inoperative or malfunctioning Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), which is a critical safety and emissions concern. Ensure the fault has been properly diagnosed and rectified, rather than just having the light cleared.
Negotiate based on the recent history of oil leaks and CV boot deterioration. Ask for evidence of recent work regarding the nearside front drive shaft and the offside front tyre, both of which were failure points in the most recent cycle. Given the age and mileage, a comprehensive service history check is essential to see if the oil leak noted in August 2026 is a known, ongoing issue.
As a 1.4L petrol engine, running costs are relatively moderate for a small hatchback. Expect typical insurance groups for a 2007 Corsa, which are generally affordable for newer drivers, though specific group placement depends on the individual policy.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this model due to the recurring issues seen in the MOT records, such as shock absorbers, anti-roll bar linkages, and drive shaft boots. Budget for regular replacement of consumables like tyres and brake discs, which have appeared as advisories or failures in multiple recent tests.
A thorough inspection of the underside is vital. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of CV boot deterioration (noted in 2024 and 2025) and issues with shock absorbers and anti-roll bar linkages. Check specifically for any signs of fresh oil leaks, as the August 2026 test recorded an oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)).
Furthermore, inspect the condition of the braking components. The 2024 and 2025 records mention worn or pitted front brake discs. Finally, verify that the dashboard warning lights, particularly the engine management light, function correctly when the ignition is turned on, to ensure the MIL issue noted in the 2026 failure has been resolved.
This 2007 purple Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 petrol has covered 118,863 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,816 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a series of failures involving CV boots, suspension components, and most recently, an engine malfunction indicator (MIL) and an oil leak. While it passed its most recent test in August 2026, the frequency of advisories and failures suggests a vehicle that may require upcoming maintenance.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failures related to headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
