How much should I pay for a 2013 Vauxhall Corsa?

Have seen a 2013 Vauxhall Corsa semi-automatic 1.2 petrol Exclusive for sale, with 17,000 miles on the clock, for £6500. Can you please advise me if this is a good model and price and if so anything particular I should check for should I view it in person or take for a test drive?

This is fitted with the 'Easytronic' robotised automated manual transmission that, via a system of electric servos, emulates a driver changing gears with what is otherwise a manual transmission. Requires acclimatisation to drive smoothly, not particularly reliable and the cost of a new actuator is eye watering.
