Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Verify that the offside front coil spring and track rod end replaced during the March 2025 MOT were replaced with quality parts. Given the very low annual mileage, you should check the service history to ensure the engine oil was changed at regular intervals regardless of the distance covered, as infrequent use can lead to moisture build-up in the engine.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides more power than the base Corsa models but will result in higher fuel consumption and potentially a higher tax band than the 1.2L variants. Insurance groups for the 2016 Corsa are generally accessible, making it a cost-effective choice for many drivers.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering components; this vehicle previously failed on a fractured offside front coil spring and a damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover, both of which are common failure points for this model. Additionally, check the current state of the front brake discs and tyres, as these were flagged as pitted, scored, or worn in April 2025.
This blue 2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.6 petrol has recorded 31,725 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, including a failure in March 2025 that was rectified within ten days. It represents a low-mileage example of the model, though it has shown some wear consistent with the vehicle's age.
The Corsa has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failures frequently involving headlamps and suspension components like coil springs.
