How reliable is the Corsa 1.2 petrol?

I am looking to buy a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 petrol. I've seen a 2011 model with 20,000 miles on the clock. I will be doing 40 miles during the weekdays for work. Is this a good car for my commute in terms of reliability and maintenance?

Solid and decently equipped. Reasonable handling and some frugal engines.
