2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · LB10 AAZ

The 1.4L petrol engine provides a balance of city usability and occasional motorway capability, though fuel economy will be lower than modern small cars. Tax and insurance costs for a 2010 Corsa are generally low, making it an affordable entry-level vehicle.

Maintenance costs are likely to be moderate, but buyers should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing are estimated to be around £1,100-£1,400.

Prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system. The March 2024 MOT recorded a fractured coil spring and worn Macpherson strut pins, which are known weak points for this model. Check for any knocking sounds when turning or driving over bumps, and inspect the anti-roll bar dust covers, which were previously flagged as severely deteriorated.

Carefully examine all four tyres. The history shows a pattern of tyres being worn to the legal limit or having exposed ply/cords, as well as a failure for mismatched sizes. Ensure the current set is uniform in brand and size on each axle and that there is no uneven wear, which could indicate remaining alignment issues.
