Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Vauxhall Corsa E Elite Nav Premium?

This Corsa E is more reliable than the UK average, with an 85.8% first-time MOT pass rate against the 80% benchmark—a solid start for a nearly two-year-old car. The dangerous defect rate of 5.6% is reassuringly low, so safety concerns aren't a red flag here.

At around 19,000 miles median, these cars are running well within typical usage for their age, which explains why failures average just 0.24 per vehicle. The 1.5 advisories per car suggest minor wear is creeping in, but nothing unexpected; if you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the service history matches the low mileage.
