Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus your attention on the suspension and exhaust system. The most recent MOT in January 2026 noted oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber, and the 2025 test flagged a weak exhaust flexy, which is a known common failure point for this model. Confirm if these have been replaced or budget for their repair.
Review the service history for evidence of brake maintenance, as the 2023 MOT highlighted thin front brake pads and excessive handbrake travel. Additionally, ensure the windscreen damage noted in the 2022 test has been resolved to prevent future MOT issues.
The 1398cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, offering manageable fuel costs and a standard insurance group for its class. Maintenance costs for the Corsa are typically moderate due to the high availability of parts in the UK.
Annual expenditure will primarily consist of road tax, insurance, and scheduled servicing. Given the vehicle's age and current mileage, you should budget for the periodic replacement of consumables such as tyres and brake components.
Carefully inspect the shock absorbers; the 2026 MOT noted oil misting on the nearside front, and the 2022 test noted the same for the offside rear, suggesting a pattern of suspension wear. Check the exhaust system, specifically the flexy section mentioned in the 2025 MOT, for signs of further deterioration.
Check the current tread depth on all tyres. The MOT history from 2022 and 2024 shows a recurring pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit, indicating that tyre replacement is a frequent maintenance requirement for this specific vehicle.
This black 2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L petrol has recorded five consecutive MOT passes. With 69,896 miles, its usage is slightly higher than the model average, but the history shows a steady progression of mileage. While the record is free of failures, it contains several advisories related to routine wear and tear.
The Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with aggregate data showing common failures often relate to headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
