Our Verdict
This 2018 Vauxhall Corsa shows mixed reliability signs. While recent MOTs are mostly clean, recurring tyre and brake issues suggest maintenance scrutiny is needed before purchase.
Prioritise checking tyre condition and brake pad thickness, as these were recurring issues in 2022 and 2025 MOTs. Verify service history for brake maintenance and tyre replacements. Negotiate a discount for the damaged rear bumper repair. Be cautious of potential hidden corrosion issues given the 2025 bumper damage report.
As a 1.4L petrol engine, this Corsa should achieve ~45-50 mpg. Road tax would be £145 annually (2018 model, 1398cc). Insurance group 15-18 is typical for this era. Brake pad replacements and tyre changes will be significant costs. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.
Inspect tyres for uneven wear patterns and check tread depth thoroughly. Examine brake pads for excessive wear and rotors for warping. Check the rear bumper for proper alignment and any hidden structural damage. Confirm the registration plate is securely mounted and legible. Look for rust on wheel arches and underbody corrosion.
The 2018 Vauxhall Corsa has a generally clean MOT history apart from tyre and brake-related failures. At 47,364 miles (10,486 miles annually), it's slightly above average for its age. No aggregate reliability data exists for the model, but repeated tyre wear issues and a damaged rear bumper raise concerns about long-term value.
No aggregate MOT data available for the 2018 Vauxhall Corsa, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends for this specific model year.
