It's an 04 plate that's done 67,000 which seems a wee tad high but never mind. With say...10 months mot, how much would you reckon a good price is for this? And is there anything I should look out for other than the normal checks?

These are chain are they not?

If so, check for noises around that area.

Chain driven Z14XEP engines. Look out for noisey timing chains (there was a recall on these but its now no longer in effect and you have to pay to have it changed). If its noisey it means it hasnt had the modified chain or its not been serviced regularly.

Check it has the modified ABS Unit (look for this over the ABS unit)


Check the steering for any knocks (could be the rack or the column)

And another common thing to go on corsa C's are the outer CV boot clips so its worth checking them too (look for CV grease all over the inside of the alloy)

Me too lads. It's for the missus though! Not noisy, rattley or unreliable enough for me
