Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those seeking an
Focus on the current state of the tyres and the exhaust system. The May 2025 MOT noted a minor leak in the exhaust joint and damage to both the nearside front and offside rear tyres; ensure these have been rectified or factor the replacement costs into your offer. Check the service history to see if major components have been replaced, given the mileage is nearing 100,000.
Verify the condition of the bodywork and ensure all electrical components are functioning. As headlamps are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data, check that all lights are operating correctly and the lenses are clear.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, typically falling into a mid-range insurance group for small cars. Tax will be based on the 2015 CO2 emissions for this engine variant, which is generally affordable for a petrol hatch.
Annual costs will be influenced by the current mileage and the need for wear-and-tear items. With recurring tyre advisories and a noted exhaust leak, maintenance costs may be slightly higher in the short term. Total estimated annual costs including fuel, tax, and insurance are likely to be between £1,200 and £1,600 depending on annual mileage.
Prioritise an inspection of the exhaust system to address the "minor leak of exhaust gases joint" noted in the May 2025 MOT. Closely examine all four tyres for cracking, perishing, or sidewall damage, as this has been a recurring advisory since 2023, specifically affecting the offside rear tyre in 2024 and 2025.
Additionally, check the coil springs and headlamps, as these are among the most frequent failure reasons for the Corsa across the wider fleet. A test drive should confirm there are no unusual noises from the suspension or exhaust system.
This white 2015 Vauxhall Corsa has recorded 97,402 miles, which is above the typical average for this model. It has passed its last four MOT tests, though the most recent check in May 2025 flagged a minor exhaust leak and damaged tyres. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of tyre wear and damage over the last three years.
The Corsa has a general MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failure points being headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust systems.
