AutoTrader UK: 2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 · Enfield · £4,595 · 68,524 miles
Used car: 2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4, Enfield
AutoTrader's own price evaluation rates this a Great Price, sitting below its stated good price range, and the car comes with a fresh 1 year MOT, a 6 month warranty, low ownership count and full service history, all genuine positives for a car at this price point. The main things to chase before committing are the single noted item in the history check and confirmation of exactly what gearbox type 'Easytronic' refers to on this specific car.
Pros
- AutoTrader rates this a Great Price, with the £4,595 asking price sitting £172 below its calculated market average and below its own quoted good price range of £4,672 to £4,910
- Only 2 previous owners, which AutoTrader's own highlight flags as below average for this type of vehicle
- Full service history is stated
- A new 1 year MOT valid to October 2027 is included, along with a 6 month warranty
- Insurance group 06E, which AutoTrader flags as in the lowest 25% for similar vehicles
Cons
- AutoTrader's own mileage comparison shows this car has covered around 4,727 more miles than the average for similar vehicles
- The history check summary reports 1 item to note among its otherwise passing results, with no detail given on what it concerns
Price and market context
AutoTrader's own price evaluation rates this listing a Great Price, placing the £4,595 asking price £172 below its calculated market average, and its good price range for this car spans £4,672 to £4,910. The asking price sits below even that lower bound, which is a genuinely strong signal on a disclosed metric rather than a guess. That said, this is a small, cheap car at ten years old, so the pool it is being compared against will include a wide spread of condition, and the rating doesn't tell you anything about the mechanical state of this specific example.
Ownership, history and mileage
Two previous owners and a full service history are both disclosed, and AutoTrader's own highlight notes that two owners is below average for this kind of vehicle. The history check summary reports 9 checks passed with 1 item to note, meaning something in AutoTrader's own check flagged for attention rather than an outright failure. The mileage sits at roughly 6,700 miles a year on average since first registration, which is unremarkable for this age, though AutoTrader's own mileage comparison notes this example has covered about 4,727 more miles than the average for similar vehicles, worth weighing alongside the modest annual rate.
MOT, warranty and running costs
The seller states a new 1 year MOT valid to 10/10/2027 and a 6 month warranty included, both genuine benefits over a car sold without them. The running costs panel shows CO2 emissions of 112g/km, insurance group 06E (AutoTrader flags this as in the lowest 25% for similar vehicles), and combined economy of 58.9mpg, all as AutoTrader's own published figures for this car.
Emissions class and the seller's ULEZ claim
The listing states Euro 6 emission class, and the dealer description separately claims 'ULEZ COMPLIANT'. Euro 6 is one factor in such schemes but actual compliance depends on the specific zone and rules that can change, so this claim should be verified directly with the relevant local authority or TfL rather than taken at face value.
Gearbox and model notes
The dealer description includes 'Easytronic' in the trim name, which (inferred) denotes Vauxhall's automated manual gearbox used on some Corsa variants of this era, distinct from a conventional torque-converter automatic. This is worth confirming directly given the different maintenance profile and known clutch actuator wear points on that type of transmission.
💬 Ask the seller
- The trim name includes 'Easytronic', can you confirm whether this is Vauxhall's automated manual gearbox rather than a conventional automatic, and if so, has the clutch actuator or gearbox software ever needed attention?
- The history check summary shows 1 item to note among the 9 passes, what specifically does that item relate to?
- Can you provide the full service history documents, and were the services carried out by a main dealer or an independent garage, and when was the last one done and at what mileage?
- AutoTrader notes this car has done about 4,727 more miles than the average for similar vehicles, is there any context on how the mileage was accumulated (e.g. motorway vs city use)?
- Can you confirm the exact terms and provider of the 6 month warranty included with the sale?
