Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The primary point for negotiation is the tyres; the August 2026 MOT records all four tyres as either worn or perishing, which is a common occurrence in vehicles that spend long periods stationary. You should request that the seller replaces these or reduce the price accordingly to cover the cost of a full set.
Ensure you review the service history to see if the oil has been changed at regular intervals despite the low mileage. Given the 2025 MOT failure for washer jets and brake disc pitting, verify that these specific items were rectified and that the brakes are now operating smoothly.
The 1398cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and affordability. It typically falls into a mid-to-low insurance group, making it an economical choice for new drivers or city commuters. Maintenance costs for the Corsa are generally competitive due to the wide availability of parts in the UK.
Annual costs will include the standard VED road tax for a 2018 petrol vehicle and modest fuel expenditure given the engine size. Typical annual running costs, including insurance, tax, and basic servicing, are estimated to be between £900 and £1,200.
Prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres. The 2026 MOT record specifically notes the nearside front is worn close to the legal limit and the other three are cracking or perishing. This suggests the rubber has degraded over time rather than through wear and tear.
Check the offside front brake disc for the pitting mentioned in the August 2025 MOT and ensure the Macpherson strut mounting is no longer making the noise that contributed to the 2025 failure. Finally, test the windscreen washer jets to ensure the 2025 alignment issue was fully resolved.
This blue 2018 Vauxhall Corsa has covered only 19,845 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. The MOT history is generally positive, with clean passes in 2023 and 2024, although the most recent 2026 test highlights a need for urgent tyre replacement. It represents a low-usage example of the 1.4L petrol variant.
The Vauxhall Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust systems.
