I have owned Corsa B 1993 1.4 Swing for the last 21 years. Fuel economy is 33,4MPG The car is pretty economical, and very reliable. In the last 21 years, these are all the repairs, in addition to regular service items. 3 times timing belts replaced 2 times fan belts replaced 1 time radiator cap replaced 2 times back exhaust replaced 1 time calipers replaced 1 time plug cables and coil cable replaced 1 time hand brake wire replaced 1 time rotor replaced 1 time thermostat replaced 1 time lamdasonde replaced 1 time heating element in one front seat replaced Notice that nothing needed to be done about the rust, shocks, suspension, wheel bearings, radiator, dynamo, steering, other electrical stuff etc. There is some rust underneath the doors, but not on chassis, and the parts checked at EU Control/MOT
