Our Verdict
A reasonable option for a budget hatchba
Verify whether the brake discs and exhaust silencer mentioned in the October 2023 MOT were replaced or repaired. Request evidence of a full service history to ensure the 1398cc engine has been maintained as it passes the 100,000-mile mark. Negotiate the price based on the vehicle's age and any pending maintenance items.
The 1.4L petrol engine offers a balance of urban efficiency and low insurance costs, typically placing the Corsa in a lower insurance group. Annual tax will be based on the 2012 CO2 emissions bracket for this engine size. Maintenance costs for this model are generally affordable due to the wide availability of parts across the UK.
Inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion, specifically the centre silencer noted in the 2023 MOT. Check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring and ensure the tyres have a healthy, even tread depth across all four corners. Additionally, check the headlamps and coil springs, as these are common failure points for the Corsa model according to aggregate data.
This red 2012 Vauxhall Corsa has covered 104,457 miles. Its MOT history is relatively stable, featuring two recent clean passes and one failure in 2024 due to worn tyres. Earlier records from 2023 highlighted concerns regarding the exhaust silencer and front brake discs.
With an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, this model shows moderate reliability, with common issues often relating to lighting and suspension.
