nothing other than the usual i wouldnt think.just check sills for rust along with boot above number plate and at bottom of spoiler at both sides. check b-pillars for cracks and bonnet will no doubt have rust unless it has been changed but cant think of anything other than the obvious corsa 'faults'

all i can say is wow!


this is the most immaculate corsa i have ever seen.

its done 23k, theres not so much as a stonechip on it.
everythings original, had 1 lardy owner from new (she's about 90) used for shopping once a week.

been serviced yearly..
and i managed to knock her down from 1800, to 1500 + make her throw in a years tax lmao

Awesome - she has fitted clear side repeaters too

Being such low miles, you may have all the sensor faults to deal with
