Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The primary focus for a buyer should be the age of the rubber components. Given the MOT advisories in April 2023 and April 2025 regarding 'cracking or perishing' tyres, you should check the manufacture date codes on all tyres; rubber can degrade over time even if the tread remains deep due to low mileage.
Verify the service history to see if oil and filter changes were carried out at regular intervals regardless of the low distance covered. When negotiating, use the age of the tyres as a potential point for a price adjustment if they require immediate replacement for safety.
The 1.4L petrol engine provides a balance of urban efficiency and reliability. As a popular supermini, it typically falls into a reasonable insurance group, making it affordable for a wide range of drivers.
Annual costs will include the standard VED tax for a 2012 petrol vehicle and routine maintenance. Given the low annual mileage of this specific car, fuel expenditure should remain low, though basic annual servicing is still required to maintain the engine.
Pay close attention to the tyres, specifically looking for the 'slightly damaged' or 'perishing' issues noted in the April 2025 and April 2023 MOT tests. Ensure the current tyres are fit for purpose and not merely passing on tread depth alone.
Additionally, refer to the model's aggregate data and inspect the headlamps for clouding or failure, and check the coil springs and exhaust system for signs of corrosion or wear, as these are the most common failure points for the Corsa across the wider UK fleet.
This black 2012 Vauxhall Corsa has covered just 31,012 miles, which is significantly below the average for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent record of passes, with only minor advisories related to tyre condition. Its low usage makes it a rare example of this model with such low recorded mileage.
The Vauxhall Corsa has a 76.2% average MOT pass rate across nearly a million vehicles, with common failures typically involving headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
