Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 CDTI SRI 2012 manual 5-door

Description

So, I’ve had this Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 CDTI SRI for a few years now and honestly, it’s been one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever driven. It’s a 2012 model, manual gearbox, 1686cc — pulls like a train in every gear, and the 130bhp engine doesn’t complain, even on the highway.

I’ve kept it very low mileage at just 81,400 miles, and it’s been well looked after. The last service was in January 2025, and I had the cam-belt done at 56k in 2021 — so it’s all sorted and should last a long time.

It’s got all the smart bits: auto headlights, auto wipers, climate control with A/C, a central screen that shows miles left and MPG, and cruise control. Not many of these cars around anymore, especially with this engine spec.

The interior’s clean and tidy, and the exterior’s been kept well — just a bit of lacquer peel on the passenger side pillar. It’s a red car, so that’s common, and it’s never bothered me. The boot handle cover’s come off too, but that’s not a big deal and I’ve factored that into the price.

MOT until May 2026 with no advisories — so it’s fully compliant and safe. The tyres are all four matching and have good tread.

I’m based in Radlett, Hertsmere, so if you’re local and interested, I can probably arrange a quick view. I’m looking to part with it for £2,565 — no haggling, just a fair offer. Thought it’d be a good fit for someone who wants a practical, solid, fast car that doesn’t need a lot of fuss.
