Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for those seeking a high-mileage, economical small car. While the mileage is significant for its age, the recent MOT history suggests it has been kept roadworthy.
Given the mileage of 110,036 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history. While the MOT records show no recent defects, an MOT is not a substitute for regular mechanical servicing. Ask the seller for evidence of oil changes and timing belt/chain inspections, which are critical at this mileage for the 1.4L engine.
When inspecting this specific blue Corsa, check for any signs of wear in the interior and ensure all electronics are functioning. Because the vehicle has been used extensively, negotiate based on the wear and tear consistent with a car that has averaged over 15,000 miles per year.
As a 1.4L petrol model, running costs are generally moderate for a small hatchback. You can expect reasonable fuel economy for mixed driving, though high mileage may impact long-term efficiency. Tax and insurance groups for this era of Corsa are typically positioned in the lower-to-mid brackets, making it an affordable choice for newer drivers.
Annual maintenance costs should be budgeted for more frequently due to the high mileage. Expect to replace consumables like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components more often than you would on a lower-mileage example.
Focus your inspection on the mechanical components that often wear out at the 100,000-mile mark. Although the February 2026 MOT passed with no defects, you should manually check the condition of the suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear in high-mileage hatchbacks.
Additionally, check the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks and listen for unusual noises during a test drive. Since the MOT history shows a failure in February 2026 that was immediately rectified to a pass, it is worth asking the seller exactly what the recorded defect was, even if it does not appear on the final pass certificate.
This 2016 blue Vauxhall Corsa features a 1.4L petrol engine and has covered 110,036 miles as of its last recorded test. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent result in February 2026 showing no defects. However, the mileage is notably high for a vehicle that is nearly ten years old.
