Could anyone tell me what I should be aware of when buying a corsa b 1.2 sxi?
Like where should I look for problems?
Thanks

Rot. Check under arches, bumpers the best you can. Apart from that parts are so cheap that even if you had to replace the engine you'd only be a couple of hundred down at the worst.

Also try not to buy one that is/has been modified. Shit wheels and a daft exhaust tend to mean they have been used and abused.

check under the brake servo. They tend to rot under there

Sill's.

Check the wheel arch behind the rear lights hasn't started to rot.

Check the floor under neath.
