Car CheckOne of the most popular cars in the UK has been named the most risky used car to buy.

The Corsa SXI AC has been identified as the car most likely to be both written-off and have outstanding finance by vehicle check website mycarcheck.com.

Head of My Car Check, Roger Powell, said: “Over the last year, Vauxhall’s Corsa SXI AC was most likely to have the two most common serious warnings, both write-off and finance.”

Almost half of all vehicles My Car Check checked in 2015 had at least one warning against them – an advisory warning, such as a registration plate transfer or colour change, or a serious warning, such as a stolen, finance or write-off alert.
