Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 35 - 60 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

Long service intervals with cheap parts. Economical (especially the 1.0 ECO). Most will have suffered the worst of their depreciation already.

Corsa owners shouldn’t have any major problems as long as it’s been looked after. Ask to see the service history before you buy – a Parker’s Car Check will tell you what to look for in the paperwork, offer simple inspection tips and identify potential, common problems, too. It could save you from wasting hundreds of pounds on a vehicle that’ll let you down.
