Our Verdict
A sensible option for a budget city car.
Prioritise checking the nearside inner drive shaft joint mentioned in the February 2024 MOT; verify if the CV boot has been replaced to prevent premature joint failure. Given the vehicle is from 2007, you should request evidence of the timing belt replacement, as this is a critical requirement for the 1.2L engine to avoid catastrophic failure. Check the service records for any evidence of oil leaks or cooling system refreshes.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, keeping fuel costs relatively low. As a Corsa, it typically sits in a lower insurance group, making it affordable for new drivers or those seeking a second car. Annual road tax for a 2007 petrol model is generally modest.
Specifically inspect the nearside inner drive shaft joint CV boot, which was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2024; look for grease spray around the wheel area. You should also check the headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust system, as these are the most frequent failure points across the wider Corsa model range according to aggregate data. Ensure the registration plate lamps and indicators are fully operational, following the failures recorded in 2022.
This silver Vauxhall Corsa has recorded 74,853 miles as of its last MOT in February 2024, which is below the average for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pass rate, with only one failure in 2022 for minor lighting issues. The most recent test noted a deteriorated drive shaft joint CV boot as an advisory.
The Corsa model has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, indicating moderate reliability across the wider population of vehicles.
