I've noticed on the EV-Database that although the Corsa has a 50kW battery, only 45kW is listing as usable.

Is this because the 5kW is reserved to prevent battery damage or is this so as the battery degrades, the car can sneekly give you some capacity back keeping the range the same for longer?

All EVs tend to reserve some battery so that the cell voltages don't go too high or low. So the battery doesn't go to the real 0% and doesn't go to the real 100%
This prevents the real degredation rather than sneekly giving you back capacity.
