Quick summary

The 2022 Vauxhall Corsa has an overall defect rate of 76 per 100 vehicles, which is 9% higher than the average for cars of the same year. Notably, the Corsa performs significantly better in categories such as steering, lights and electrics, body/structure, equipment, and other issues, with defect rates well below the average. However, it faces challenges in braking and visibility, where defect rates are considerably higher than those of the average vehicle. Additionally, the defect rate increases with mileage, particularly in the higher mileage segments, indicating that wear and tear may be a growing concern as the vehicle ages.
