Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a high-mileage diesel commuter. While the mileage is significant, the recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without recorded defects.
When viewing this specific 1.2L diesel Corsa, focus on its service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been changed in line with manufacturer recommendations, especially given the 115,000-mile mark. Because this is a diesel model, check for any signs of excessive smoke or unusual idling, which can indicate issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF).
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean of defects, 115,239 miles is substantial for a 2013 vehicle. Ask for proof of recent maintenance following the February 2025 MOT failure to understand what necessitated the retest, even though no specific defect was listed in the digital record.
As a 1.2L diesel, this Corsa is designed for fuel efficiency, particularly on longer motorway journeys. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption compared to petrol equivalents of the same era.
Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically moderate, making it an affordable choice for newer drivers or budget-conscious commuters. Maintenance costs for Vauxhall parts are generally accessible, though at this mileage, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like suspension components and clutch replacement.
Pay close attention to the recent MOT failure in February 2025. Although the record shows 'no defects recorded' at the pass, you should ask the seller exactly what caused the failure at 115,080 miles to ensure it wasn't a recurring mechanical issue.
Inspect the underside for signs of corrosion, as well as the condition of the tyres and brake pads. Given the high mileage, check for any oil leaks around the engine bay and listen for any unusual noises from the turbocharger or diesel injectors during a test drive.
This 2013 black Vauxhall Corsa features a 1.2L diesel engine and has covered 115,239 miles as of its last MOT in February 2025. The vehicle has a documented MOT history spanning from 2022 to 2025, showing a consistent ability to meet minimum standards. Although it experienced a failure in February 2025 at 115,080 miles, it passed shortly after with no defects recorded.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Vauxhall Corsa model to provide a comparative benchmark.
