Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sen
When inspecting this specific Corsa, pay close attention to the tyres. The most recent MOT in 2025 noted the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which could indicate an alignment issue. Ensure the replacement tyres have even tread across the width.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The 2023 MOT recorded pitting and scoring on both front brake discs. While these were passed at the time, you should verify if the discs and pads have been replaced since that record. Additionally, confirm that the windscreen wipers are in good condition, as they were a recorded failure point in 2022.
As a 1.2L petrol engine, this Corsa is designed for economy and is likely to fall into a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient for urban and suburban driving.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for regular consumables like tyres and brake components, which have appeared in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus on the front end of the vehicle. Given the 2025 MOT advisory regarding edge-worn tyres, check the suspension components and wheel alignment to ensure there isn't an underlying issue causing uneven wear.
Inspect the braking components; the history of pitted and scored discs in 2023 suggests you should check the current thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs. Finally, test all exterior lights and windscreen wipers, as these have been common minor failure points in this vehicle's recent history.
This 2015 grey Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 petrol has covered 55,847 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. The mileage is slightly higher than the model aggregate average of 5,816 miles per year, but remains consistent with typical usage for an 11-year-old car. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and minor defects, including tyre wear and brake disc pitting.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
