Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for those seek
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise verifying that the repairs identified in the March 2025 MOT—specifically the nearside rear wheel bearing and the front anti-roll bar linkages—were carried out professionally. You should also check the current depth and condition of all four tyres, as they were flagged as worn close to the legal limit during the 2025 test.
Request the full service history to see if the 1.2L engine has had regular oil changes, as this is critical for the longevity of this specific engine variant. Given the vehicle's age, check for any signs of corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which are common areas of concern for cars of this era.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for economy, making it a cost-effective choice for urban driving. Insurance costs are typically low for this model, and the small engine size helps keep the annual road tax within a manageable bracket for a 2007 vehicle.
Maintenance costs for the Corsa are generally low due to the widespread availability of parts. However, as an older vehicle, you should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items like coil springs or ball joints, which are common failure points for this model according to aggregate data.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and steering components. The MOT history specifically records failures for the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, and aggregate data suggests ball joints and coil springs are frequent failure points for this model. Listen for any humming or droning sounds from the rear, which could indicate a recurring issue with the wheel bearings.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and operation, as these are listed as a top failure reason across the wider Corsa population. Ensure the tyre tread is consistent across all four wheels to avoid the issues seen in the 2025 MOT record.
This blue 2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2L has recorded 80,522 miles, which is below the average for its age. The MOT history shows a failure in March 2025 involving tyre wear, a rear wheel bearing, and anti-roll bar linkage dust covers, though it passed its most recent test in March 2026 with no defects. It represents a typical example of an older, low-mileage petrol hatchback.
The Vauxhall Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
