The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 88.3% first-time pass rate means roughly 12 in every 100 Vauxhall Corsa Sri Nav S/S presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Vauxhall Corsa Sri Nav S/S tested had covered 29,669 miles and was built around 2019.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Vauxhall Corsa Sri Nav S/S sits 11.6 points above the national average, ranked 957 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Vauxhall Corsa Sri Nav S/S rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits.
