Common Problems with the
2014 Chevrolet Matiz

Buying Tips for 2014 Chevrolet Matiz

• Carefully inspect the bodywork and undercarriage for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, which can lead to MOT failures.
• Listen for a whining noise from the manual gearbox, a common sign that the bearings are beginning to fail.
• Check the operation of the central locking and electric windows, as the basic electrical systems are prone to failure.
• Ensure the engine idles smoothly; the small 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder units can suffer from sticking idle control valves.
• Test the brakes thoroughly; the basic setup can feel spongy, but excessive travel indicates master cylinder or fluid issues.
• Look for signs of oil leaks around the rocker cover gasket, a very common and inexpensive fix but worth noting.
