Our Verdict
A fair example of a 2018 Corsa that is n
Prioritise verifying whether the front brake pads and rear tyres, flagged as wearing thin and perishing in the February 2026 MOT, have been replaced. These are immediate consumables that will require expenditure shortly after purchase. Review the service history to ensure the 1.4L engine has been serviced at regular intervals, as this will be critical given the above-average mileage.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the cost of replacing the tyres and brakes. Ensure you receive evidence that the fractured coil spring and track rod end dust cover—which caused the February 2026 failure—were replaced with quality parts, as these are known weak points for this model.
The 1.4L petrol engine provides a balance of city usability and motorway capability, with fuel costs typical for a small petrol hatchback. Tax and insurance for this model are generally competitive, though the specific insurance group should be checked against the driver's profile.
Annual maintenance costs are likely to be moderate, but the recent MOT history suggests a transition into a phase where suspension components and braking systems require more frequent attention. Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic servicing, are estimated to be around £1,100-£1,400.
Carefully inspect the suspension and steering assembly. The February 2026 failure for a fractured offside front coil spring and a damaged track rod end dust cover aligns with aggregate model data identifying coil springs and ball joints as top failure reasons. Ensure there are no unusual knocks or pulls when steering.
Check the condition of the rear tyres for any visible cracking or perishing as noted in the last MOT. Additionally, check the thickness of the front brake pads; if they have not been changed since February 2026, they will likely be near the end of their usable life.
This grey 1.4L petrol Corsa has recorded 62,804 miles, which is above the model average for its age. While it maintained a clean record in 2023 and 2024, the most recent MOT history in February 2026 shows a failure involving suspension and steering components before a subsequent pass. The vehicle currently carries advisories regarding brake wear and tyre condition.
The Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with aggregate data highlighting coil springs and ball joints as frequent points of failure.
