- These are the VCA listings we could match to the Vauxhall Corsa VXR by name. The Vauxhall Corsa page covers every version.
- Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Corsa 3 Door Hatchback, Model Year 2013”, “Corsa 3 Door Hatchback, Model Year 2012”, “Corsa 3 Door Hatchback Model Year 2009”, “Corsa 3 Door Hatchback Model Year 2012”.

- Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2010.
- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “CORSA VXR”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the number first registered since 2001. Other versions are those of the same model with the same average year of first registration.
- First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
