Our Verdict
This 2016 Vauxhall Corsa requires carefu
When inspecting this Corsa, verify whether the numerous tyre and suspension advisories noted on the August 2026 MOT test have been rectified, as four tyres were flagged for either being near the legal limit, perishing, or showing surface damage. Check the service history to see if the front sub-frame corrosion and rear coil spring corrosion have been independently assessed or treated. Use the documented steering component advisories and previous test failures as points for negotiation on the asking price.
Examine the steering and suspension systems thoroughly, keeping in mind that track rod end dust cover deterioration has appeared across multiple annual tests from 2024 through 2026. Ensure that all electrical items, including headlamp aim and registration plate lamps which have caused test failures or advisories previously, are fully operational before finalising purchase.
The 1.4-litre petrol engine sits in a moderate insurance group and fuel economy should prove competitive for everyday commuting, though annual maintenance bills may be higher than average given the pattern of suspension and tyre wear. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) will depend on its specific CO2 emissions band for the 2016 registration year.
Consumables like tyres, brake pads—noted as wearing thin in September 2024—and suspension springs will need regular monitoring. Expect total annual running costs, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, to fall in the range of £1,200 to £1,500.
Pay close attention to the front sub-frame, which was noted with corrosion in August 2026, and inspect both rear coil springs for similar corrosion issues. Check all four tyres closely for cracking, perishing, and tread depth, as tyre degradation has been a recurring theme across the 2025 and 2026 test records.
Examine the steering gear, specifically the track rod end ball joint dust covers, which have shown damage or deterioration in tests spanning 2024, 2025, and 2026. Finally, test all exterior lighting including headlamps and registration plate illumination to ensure no lingering electrical faults from previous test cycles.
First registered in September 2016, this white 1.4-litre petrol hatchback has recorded 90,208 miles, placing its mileage well above the national model average of approximately 5,753 miles per year. Its recent test history includes failures at both the 2025 and 2026 August tests, highlighting persistent issues with track rod end dust covers, tyres, and suspension components. While it holds a valid pass certificate as of August 2026, the underlying advisories require attention.
The Vauxhall Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2% across national data, with headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints standing out as top failure reasons.
