Vauxhall introduced the Corsa in 1993, based on the Opel model that goes by the same name. Since then, the Corsa took off to become one of the best-selling cars ever in the UK. Practicality, efficiency, and affordability - the Corsa has got it all covered through seven generations. Each version improved upon this winning formula, but Vauxhall made sure it did not dilute the Corsa’s core traits.
The first generation that replaced the Vauxhall Nova started the story, but it was the later generations that took the game forward with new design, features, and powertrain options, all the while meeting the needs of the drivers. With time, the Corsa has evolved so much that it is available as a petrol, hybrid and an electric car today!
Tony says when buying used “I’d start by checking the clutch and gearbox – especially on manual Corsa models. The 1.4 petrol engine is generally solid, but heavy urban use can wear the transmission components prematurely, especially the gear linkages. I’d also inspect the suspension for knocks or creaks, particularly from the front – worn bushes and drop links are common but inexpensive to fix. Water ingress around the rear light clusters and boot seals is worth checking too. Interior plastics can start to feel a bit flimsy over time, so look out for loose trim or rattles as well."
Tony brought a wealth of frontline experience to the AA Press Office, having spent many years as a dedicated AA patrol. His time on the road included the honour of being named AA Patrol of the Year.
