Ok i bought this VXR brand new at £13,500 so a good price for it back in 2008.
In the 2nd year the air conditioning pipe split and so did the engine coolant pipe...these were replaced foc under warranty....HOWEVER.....2 months after my warranty expires my wheel bearing needs replacing.....I HAVE ONLY DONE 15,000 MILES... Due to the warranty expiring I had to pay 50% of the 200.00 invoice. Now 6 months another wheel bearing needs replacing...Vauxhall charged me £30.00 to tell me this aswell...so pretty miffed AND NO CONTRIBUTION WHATSOEVER !
So unless you want to constantly pay for wheel bearings after about 15,000 miles stay clear of vauxhall corsa VXR's and it dont make any difference if you have constantly had services and mot's at a vauxhall garage, so get it done cheaper at a normal garage !
