Description
2010 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 Energy Ecoflex Petrol
Are you looking for speed? Luxury? Prestige?
Excellent. Keep scrolling.
Are you looking for a car that costs 35 a year to tax, costs buttons to insure, sips petrol and will transport you from one location to another with absolutely zero concern for your social status?
Welcome.
The important bits:
104,782 miles
1.0 petrol
Fresh MOT until 17 August 2027
No minor defects on the MOT
Four nearly-new tyres
35 a year road tax
Cheap insurance
Cheap to run
Full-size spare wheel
Plenty of receipts for mechanical work
It has a mighty three cylinders, producing enough horsepower to move itself, several adults and, given sufficient notice, possibly overtake a tractor.
0 to 60 is achieved eventually.
Now for the actually important stuff.
Despite being a cheap little Corsa, quite a bit of money has been spent keeping it mechanically right.
At approximately 91,000 miles, substantial engine work was carried out, including:
Timing chain kit
Head set and head bolts
Inlet and exhaust valves
Ignition coil
Spark plugs
Oil and filters
Fan belt tensioner
At approximately 101,000 miles:
New water pump kit
New coolant hose
More recently:
New front exhaust flexi
Oil and filter change
There are receipts for the major work, so it hasn't been maintained exclusively through thoughts, prayers and the occasional warning light.
The bodywork has experienced 16 years of Northern Irish weather and therefore should not be confused with a concours-winning Ferrari.
It has age-related marks.
They've seen worse.
Probably.
It's an honest 2010 Corsa. I'm not going to describe it as "immaculate for its age" while strategically photographing it from 40 metres away.
It has a fresh MOT until 17 August 2027 with no minor defects and is ready to drive away.
Perfect first car, runaround, work car, station car, second car, or for someone who's finally accepted that 400-a-month car finance is absolutely mental.
Sensible offers welcome after you've actually seen the car.
No, I won't take 600 because "that's all I've got mate."
No swaps for an Xbox, French bulldog, jet ski, 14 paving slabs or your cousin's modified Golf.
Lowball offers will be considered carefully, printed out and placed directly into the recycling bin.
And yes, it is still available.
If the advert is up, the car is available.
Come drive it.
You may not fall in love with it.
But you'll probably respect it.
