Our Verdict
This Vauxhall Corsa is a sensible choice for a buyer seeking a relatively low-mileage petrol hatchback. The recent MOT history shows a consistent passing record without recurring defects.
When inspecting this 1.4L petrol Corsa, verify that the recent MOT passes were supported by a consistent service history, as MOT records alone do not confirm mechanical maintenance. Given the vehicle's age, check the condition of the black paintwork for UV fading or scratches, and ensure all electrical components are functioning correctly.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the mileage is reasonable, the car has experienced two MOT failures in the last two years. Ask the seller for documentation regarding the repairs made following the 2023 and 2024 failures to ensure they were addressed properly.
The 1398cc petrol engine typically places this vehicle in a moderate insurance group, making it relatively affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this model is generally efficient for urban and suburban driving.
Maintenance costs for a Corsa of this age are usually predictable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wipers. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, fall within a mid-range bracket for small hatchbacks.
Although the most recent MOTs in 2024 and 2025 recorded no defects, you should specifically check the items that may have contributed to the failures in 2023 and 2024. Since the specific failure types were not detailed in the summary, a physical inspection of the braking system, tyre tread, and lighting is essential.
Check the suspension components and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear on vehicles of this age and mileage. Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks that might not have been caught during the MOT process.
This 2015 black Vauxhall Corsa has covered 55,770 miles since its first registration in September 2015. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent two passing without any defects. While there were two recorded failures in 2023 and 2024, these appear to have been resolved immediately, as evidenced by the subsequent clean passes.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Vauxhall Corsa model to provide a statistical comparison.
