The Vauxhall Corsa is one of Britain's best-selling superminis, offered on the used market as an efficient petrol, a hybrid, or the fully electric Corsa Electric. Browse checked, prepared used Corsa models with Vertu, backed by our 14-day money-back promise and flexible finance.
Few cars are as familiar on British roads as the Corsa. A perennial best-seller, it has earned its place through a blend of low running costs, easy driving manners and sensible practicality, which makes it one of the most reassuring and widely available used superminis you can choose.
The used market adds real breadth of choice. The current generation alone spans efficient petrol, a hybrid and the fully electric Corsa Electric, and with the first owner having taken the early depreciation, a well-equipped example becomes very affordable, backed by a huge parts and servicing network.
Any remaining manufacturer warranty transfers to you as the new keeper, and every Corsa at Vertu is prepared and checked before it reaches the forecourt.
For a used supermini that keeps costs low and choice high, the Corsa is hard to beat.
Yes, and the choice of powertrains is central to its appeal. The current Corsa is offered with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol in 100PS form, a 1.2 turbo hybrid in 110PS and 145PS forms with an automatic gearbox, and the fully electric Corsa Electric with up to 265 miles of range.
The petrol suits low-cost everyday driving, the hybrid improves efficiency with a small electric motor and returns up to 62.8mpg, and the electric version offers zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving for those who can charge. Whichever you choose, the Corsa is easy to drive and well equipped.
Every used Corsa sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. With that preparation and any remaining warranty, a used Corsa is a low-risk supermini buy.
The Corsa's range suits several kinds of driver. The table below pairs four of them with the version that fits best.
| Buyer Type | Why the Corsa Fits |
|---|---|
| New and younger drivers | The 1.2 petrol sits in sensible insurance groups and is easy and cheap to run, ideal for first-time buyers. |
| City drivers going electric | The Corsa Electric offers up to 265 miles of range and zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, perfect for town use. |
| Efficiency-focused commuters | The 1.2 turbo hybrid returns up to 62.8mpg with a small electric motor assisting the petrol engine, with no charging needed. |
| Buyers wanting comfort kit for less | Higher trims such as GS and Ultimate add heated seats, a heated steering wheel, navigation and a rear-view camera. |
The Corsa is designed to be easy and affordable to live with. The current car feels modern inside, with a 10-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital driver's cluster and, on higher trims, navigation, a wireless charger and a rear-view camera. Safety kit including automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist is standard.
Practicality is solid for the class, with a 309-litre boot on petrol models, five seats and 60/40 split-folding rear seats. The Corsa Electric adds features such as an 80% charging limit function to help preserve the battery, and the higher-output version offers Vehicle-to-Load charging.
Running costs stay low across the range, and the electric version is cheapest of all to run for those who can charge at home. Once a Corsa reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, including a battery-system check on electric models, and servicing it through Vertu's Vauxhall-trained colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.
The current Corsa range spans YES, Design, GS and Ultimate. The table below sets out how equipment builds across the core grades.
These details reflect the current MY2025 specification. The Corsa has been sold across many generations, so used examples from earlier years carry different trim names and equipment, including older SE, SRi, Elite, Energy and Griffin versions, so confirm the specification of any specific car with your local dealership.
