Our Verdict
A fair option for those seeking a practi
When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the quality and brand of the tyres currently fitted. The MOT history reveals three separate instances of tyre-related failures or advisories between March 2025 and August 2026, including tread depth issues and perishing. Ensure that the replacements are of a reputable brand and not budget tyres that may wear prematurely.
Request evidence of the repair for the nearside front coil spring that failed in March 2026. As this is a known common failure point for the Corsa model, it is worth checking if the offside spring was also replaced at the time to ensure balanced suspension performance. Check the service history for regular oil changes to support the 1.4L engine's longevity given the above-average mileage.
The 1.4L petrol engine offers a balance of city usability and motorway capability, typically falling into a moderate insurance group suitable for new or experienced drivers. Fuel economy is standard for a petrol engine of this era, though annual costs will vary based on urban versus rural driving patterns.
Maintenance costs for the Corsa are generally accessible due to the wide availability of parts. However, the MOT history for this specific car suggests a higher-than-average spend on consumables like tyres and suspension components. Expect an annual budget to cover tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension. The MOT history specifically flags the nearside front and nearside rear tyres as recurring issues; check for uneven wear which could indicate an alignment problem. Verify that the tyre tread is well above the 1.6mm legal limit across all four corners.
Inspect the suspension for any signs of noise or instability, specifically referencing the fractured coil spring recorded in March 2026. Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and operation, as headlamp failures are one of the top three most common MOT failure reasons for this model according to aggregate data.
This red 2018 Vauxhall Corsa has covered 68,425 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT record shows a series of recent failures, specifically regarding tyre tread and a fractured nearside front coil spring in March 2026. While it passed its most recent test in August 2026, the frequency of tyre-related failures suggests a need for closer scrutiny of current wear levels.
The Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with coil springs, headlamps, and exhausts being the most frequent points of failure.
