Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this Corsa, check the immediate responsiveness of the windscreen washers and the functionality of all exterior lighting, including the daytime running lights and registration plate lamps, as these were recent failure points. Ensure that the exhaust system has been fully addressed and is not emitting any noticeable fumes or sounds from the flexi-pipe area.
Negotiate based on the frequency of maintenance-related failures. Ask for evidence that the track rod end dust covers and the front brake discs mentioned in the 2024 MOT have been replaced with quality parts. Given the recent tyre wear issues, check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit.
As a 1.2L petrol engine, this Corsa is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for newer or budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for this model often involve common consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and bulbs, which have appeared frequently in its MOT history. You should budget for regular servicing to avoid the types of minor failures seen in the 2024 and 2026 tests. Estimated annual running costs are moderate.
Specifically inspect the front exhaust system for any signs of leaks near the flexi-pipe, as this was flagged in the June 2026 test. You should also examine the track rod end dust covers; although they were noted as damaged in 2024, it is important to verify they have been replaced or repaired to prevent steering inaccuracies.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The 2024 MOT recorded pitted or scored front brake discs and a binding nearside rear service brake. Ensure the brakes feel smooth and do not pull to one side during a test drive. Finally, verify that the headlamp aim is correctly adjusted, as this was a failure point in the most recent MOT cycle.
This 2013 black Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 petrol has covered 70,362 miles as of its most recent MOT in June 2026. The vehicle has experienced two MOT failures within the last three years, with the most recent failure in 2026 involving several lighting, tyre, and exhaust issues. Although it passed its latest test, the history shows a tendency for wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and lighting to reach failure thresholds.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust components.
