Description
I bought this Corsa in May 2025 as a learner car for my daughter and am selling it now she's passed. I chose it because it has an excellent service history, drives perfectly, everything works and the interior is super-clean. It was clearly well looked-after by its 2 previous keepers. I had it fully serviced (inc. new spark plugs and pollen filter) by our local garage immediately after purchase, fitted new Falken All-Season front tyres (rear Contis are still great), new Bosch wipers and re-gassed the aircon. Since then it's only been driven 4000 miles and is still in the same very good condition as I bought it. I've always parked it in our garage, it has 2 original keys, full annual service log, locking wheel nut and car radio code details.
I've booked its MOT a month early on 17 March - I expect it to go through with no problems and will update this ad then.
The car drives very well - one of my main reasons for choosing a Corsa was because it is such a popular choice for driving instructors due to its excellent visibility and fully-adjustable steering wheel, adjusting for both height and length, so learners can achieve a perfect driving position. I wanted the Corsa's supermini size because I think it provides a safer, full-size car experience for learners rather than the tiny citycars around these days. The engine revs very cleanly: I chose the 1.4 because it copes well with the hills between Carmarthen and Lampeter, and dual carriageway, while still being very economical. A couple of years back I bought a 1.0ltr 3-cylinder Seat Mii as a learner car for my son and I felt the engine lacked the power needed for West Wales hills, whereas this Vauxhall 1.4 SXi has been a huge improvement and easily managed the A485 to Carmarthen.
The paintwork has no dents, misaligned panels and no rust. There are a few minor scratches and chips, and the last 3 photos show where touch-up paint has been applied to a 12cm section of nearside rear wheel arch, rear doorhandle and 8cm patch next to the offside rear roof-rack mounting. The interior is spotless except for a 1cm mark on the front passenger seat. The indicator stalk has buttons for cruise control which don't do anything when pressed, but I don't think this model had cruise control as standard so it may never have been actually enabled on this particular car.
