Our Verdict
This 2012 Vauxhall Corsa diesel presents
When viewing this Corsa, verify all lighting functions, door mirrors, and dashboard warning lights immediately, as the 2022 MOT failure highlighted multiple failures in these areas. Check the engine bay for signs of the oil leak noted as an advisory during the 2021 test at 48,726 miles. Ensure you negotiate on the price if any historical issues or general wear items such as the front brake pads and shock absorbers noted in 2021 have not been recently addressed.
The 12.8cc diesel engine typically offers strong fuel economy, making it an economical choice for daily commuting. Insurance groups for this model are generally low, keeping premiums accessible for younger or urban drivers. Road tax should be relatively modest depending on CO2 emissions band, while standard maintenance costs are kept down by wide parts availability.
Pay close attention to the items flagged in the recent test history: verify the status of the engine management light (MIL), test all stop lamps, position lamps, and registration plate lamps. Inspect the front brake pads and front shock absorbers for wear or oil misting, echoing the 2021 advisories. Given common Corsa weak points, also check coil springs, suspension ball joints, and the headlamps for any clouding or mechanical play.
First registered in September 2012, this grey Vauxhall Corsa features a 1248.0cc diesel engine and has covered 53,414 miles by its October 2022 test. Its recorded mileage is well below the model average of approximately 82,348 miles for a vehicle of this age. However, the MOT history shows a combination of advisories in 2021 and a failure in 2022 involving multiple lighting faults, an engine malfunction indicator lamp, and a missing door mirror.
The Vauxhall Corsa has a vast presence on UK roads with a national average pass rate of 76.2%, and common failure points include headlamps, coil springs, and ball joints.
