In today's video I'm just having a quick look around a cheap little Corsa that I bought back from a customer after a couple of years ownership. It needs a little work, but the bare bones are pretty good I think. Other than the brakes, the handbrake, the AC and the abysmal 1.4 engine...

Get a used badge for the wing from a vehicle scrap yard. They are common vehicles so they should have one.

My old Hyundai was a Hitachi executives car for the UK, I found loads of paperwork Inc the import papers from Korea and loads of maintenance every couple thousand miles etc. Plus it was full loaded with autonomous parking / xenon lights / heated steering wheel etc. Lovely car but it'd definitely had a few demo A/C units and microwaves in the boot in it's time 😂 nothing wrong with an ex rental / fleet vehicle as long as it's been maintained. Quite a rare spec Corsa with cruise and those sports seats, looks quite nice

I did the discs and pads on my 1.2 sxi same year for £55. It’s a dead easy job too.

Insects seem to find a way behind the clear headlight lenses on many Corsa D's. I also see a few of these with rusty bonnet leading edges. Rust streaks on the chrome grille trim means the underside of the bonnet is rotten.

As a rental, especially an inexpensive one, it has probably been driven by dozens of people without the least bit of concern for it. Some of those renters probably drove it like they stole it. No amount of maintenance can compensate for abuse.

I bought a ford direct ex avis rent a car. I did over 100k in it and only had to replace a starter and an alternator. Was a very good car.

Perfect little first time driver car. Not sure it was worth £1200 however as it needs a few £100 spent. It’s an £1800 car at its best and serviced. 🤷🏻‍♂️ love the videos 👌🏻

If its.still the old 1.4 then its rhe 8v and just a bit gutless where as the 1.2 was 16v and 1.0 a 12v.

Wonder why the 1.2 is the better engine as it certainly is.
