Our Verdict
Recommended as a reliable budget option.
Verify the full service history to ensure the 1.4L petrol engine has been maintained, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness. Specifically, check that the tyres flagged for perishing and cracking in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have been replaced with new units rather than simply being monitored, as this was a persistent issue for three years.
Check for evidence of any recent suspension work. While this car has not failed its MOT, aggregate data for the Corsa shows that coil springs and ball joints are common failure points. Confirming these have been inspected or replaced will provide extra peace of mind.
The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments and is generally affordable to insure. Road tax for a 2016 model is based on CO2 emissions, and maintenance costs are typically low due to the widespread availability of parts for this model.
Annual expenditures will primarily consist of fuel, road tax, and a yearly service. Given the mileage and engine size, maintenance should remain predictable provided the vehicle continues to be serviced regularly.
Closely inspect the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing. The MOT history shows a pattern of this issue from 2022 through 2024 across the front and offside rear tyres; ensure the current set is fresh and of a reputable brand.
Examine the track rod end ball joint dust covers. These were flagged as deteriorated in December 2024; while they did not cause a failure, any further degradation can lead to joint wear. Additionally, check the headlamps for any clouding or electrical issues, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model across the UK fleet.
This red 2016 Vauxhall Corsa has recorded 62,238 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history is notable for its consistency, having passed every test since 2021. While there were recurring advisories regarding perishing tyres between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in December 2025 was completed with no defects recorded.
The Corsa has a moderate aggregate MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failures typically linked to headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
