Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recent inc
When inspecting this specific red Corsa, prioritize a thorough check of the underside for fluid leaks. The MOT history shows a history of both oil leaks and a recent coolant leak advisory, which could indicate underlying engine or cooling system issues. Ensure any recent repairs to the exhaust or shock absorbers are documented with receipts.
Negotiate the sale price based on the immediate maintenance required for the front brake discs and pads, as well as the CV boot, which was noted as 'severely deteriorated' in the 2025 MOT. Ask the seller for evidence of any work carried out to address the suspension arm bush and the coolant leak mentioned in the most recent record.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically moderate, suitable for urban and suburban driving.
Maintenance costs for this model can vary; while parts are widely available, the recent MOT history suggests a need for frequent attention to consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension components. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus heavily on the suspension and drivetrain. The 2025 MOT highlighted a 'severely deteriorated' offside front CV boot and a worn suspension arm bush; these should be inspected for play or audible clicking when turning. Additionally, check the shock absorbers, as the vehicle has a history of both 'light misting' and 'serious fluid leaks' in this area.
Check the braking system thoroughly, as the most recent test noted worn and pitted front discs alongside thin pads. Finally, inspect the engine bay for signs of the coolant and oil leaks identified in the 2025 record to ensure they have been properly rectified and are not currently active.
This 2012 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 petrol shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding suspension, leaks, and braking components. While the 2024 MOT was defect-free, the 2025 test recorded several significant advisories including a CV boot deterioration, coolant leaks, and brake wear. With 79,123 miles on the clock, it has covered more than the model average of 5,816 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
