2016 Vauxhall Corsa VXR 1.6 Turbo Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve got this 2016 Vauxhall Corsa VXR hatchback — it’s not just any old car, it’s a proper VXR with that sharp, sporty edge. I bought it back when the market was still buzzing about the turbo models, and it’s been mostly kept well-maintained since.

It’s a 1.6L turbo, manual gearbox, Euro 6 spec — runs smoothly, no major issues, and has a solid 73,000 miles on it. Only had two previous owners, which I’m happy about. The keys are still with me — two of them, so no worries if you need to pop it in the garage or take it out for a spin.

The interior’s got that cool half-leather Recaro bucket seat setup, carbon fibre exhaust tips, LED headlights, and a semi-digital dash. The steering wheel’s flat-bottomed, which I like — feels more driver-focused. There’s also cruise control, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The seats are adjustable, and I’ve used the memory settings a few times — handy when you’re doing long drives or have different people in the car.

Outdoors, it’s got silver alloy wheels, a black honeycomb grille, dual exit exhaust, and a rear spoiler. The heated windscreen and privacy glass are useful in winter. The car also has adaptive brake lights, an emergency tyre inflator, and a good safety cell.

I’ve had it through a full inspection — brakes, suspension, engine, electricals — everything’s been checked and looks solid. It’s got a valid MOT, and the V5 is in order. Road tax is £315 a year, which is pretty standard for this type of car.

I’ve kept it low-key — no flashy mods, just clean, reliable driving. It’s not a daily driver for me anymore, but I’ve kept it in good shape, and it’s still fun to drive.

The car was originally bought for £6,295, and I’ve had it since — it’s been well looked after. I’m now selling it because I’m moving to a new area, and I just don’t want it sitting around.

If you’re interested, I’m happy to chat — no pressure, just a real conversation. I can also let you know about the full service history and what’s in the warranty.

Location is now Egremont, Cumberland — so if you’re local or nearby, I can even meet up if you’d like.

I’m not selling it for a lot — it’s a fair price, and I’ve kept it clean and honest. If you’re thinking about getting a solid, well-sorted used hatchback with real features, this one might be worth a look.

Let me know if you want to see it or chat more — I’ll be around to answer questions.
