Common issues with the Vauxhall Corsa
- Tappet noise on the 1.2 and 1.4 petrol engines after 60k miles if oil changes were skipped
- EPS (electric power steering) column failure on D-model (2006–2014) — steering can suddenly become heavy
- Rust bubbling on the bonnet and roof on earlier D models — check paintwork carefully
Negotiation tips
- The E-model (2014–2019) is significantly more reliable than the D; worth the extra £500–800
- Avoid high-mileage automatics — the Easytronic box is notoriously problematic
- Check the service light reset has been done properly after any oil change
