- Rear arch, sill and floor corrosionSerious
Rust around the rear arches, sills, floor edges and front chassis legs can make a tidy-looking Corsa B uneconomical very quickly.
- Idle control and ignition faultsModerate
Small petrol engines often suffer hunting idle, misfire and stalling because of coil packs, stepper motors or tired sensors.
- Front spring and top mount wearModerate
Corroded springs and tired top mounts create knocks and can lead to sudden spring breakage on older cars.
