Our Verdict
A sensible choice for a small car buyer that shows a generally clean MOT record, though the mileage is beginning to climb above the national average for its age.
When inspecting this specific Corsa, ask for the reason behind the November 2024 MOT failure; although it passed just four days later, knowing what component required repair provides insight into the owner's attention to detail. Given the mileage is over 90,000 miles, verify if the timing belt has ever been replaced, as this is a critical maintenance item for this 1.2cc engine.
Check the service history for consistent oil changes, as high-mileage small engines are sensitive to poor lubrication. Also, look for signs of wear on the suspension components, such as bushings and shocks, which often begin to show on Corsas of this era as they approach this mileage.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally situated in a lower insurance group, making it affordable for first-time drivers. You can expect modest fuel economy, around 45-50 MPG depending on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically low as parts are widely available and simple to fit. Estimated annual costs, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing, are likely to fall between £900 and £1,200.
Focus your inspection on the areas related to the 2024 MOT failure; although the specific defect wasn't listed in the summary, you should ensure the repair was robust. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which are common areas for Vauxhall models from this period.
Test the electronics for any warning lights and check the clutch for slipping, as high-mileage city cars can suffer from premature wear. Ensure the tyres are worn evenly, which would indicate potential alignment issues or worn-out suspension mounting components.
This 2013 Vauxhall Corsa sits at 93,215 miles, which is slightly above the typical average for its age. While it experienced one MOT failure in late 2024, the most recent test in September 2025 passed with no defects or advisories. The 1.2L petrol engine is a common configuration that offers a balance of economy and urban drivability.
The Vauxhall Corsa of this generation is known for being a straightforward city car, provided the cooling system and timing belt are maintained according to the schedule.
