Our Verdict
A consistent MOT record with five consec
Prioritise a check of the tyres; the October 2025 MOT explicitly stated all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit. You should use this as a negotiation point, as a full set of replacements will be required immediately. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure the 1.4L engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, given the vehicle's high mileage.
Inquire about the 'deformed but serviceable' steering column noted in September 2023. While it passed the test, you should ensure there is no unusual vibration or misalignment during a test drive. Check for any evidence of recent brake pad replacement, as these were flagged as wearing thin in 2023.
The 1.4L petrol engine provides predictable fuel economy for a city car of this era. Insurance and road tax will be standard for a 2017 Corsa, though maintenance costs may rise as the vehicle exceeds 90,000 miles.
Typical maintenance for this model often involves replacing coil springs and exhaust components, which are common failure points across the Corsa range. Given the current tyre condition and mileage, expect a higher-than-average initial spend on wear-and-tear items.
Inspect all four tyres immediately, as the most recent MOT record indicates they are all near the legal limit. Check the front brake pads for remaining thickness, following the 2023 advisory. The steering column should be closely examined for any signs of damage or irregularity, referencing the 2023 'deformed' status.
Beyond this specific vehicle's history, check the headlamps and exhaust system for corrosion or failure, as these are the most frequent MOT failure points for the Corsa model aggregate. Ensure the suspension feels tight, as coil springs are a known weak point for this vehicle type.
This black 2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L petrol has recorded 91,400 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. While it has passed every MOT since 2021, the history shows recurring issues with tyre wear and a specific note regarding the steering column. It is a high-usage example of this model that has remained roadworthy through its tests.
The Vauxhall Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
