Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The current roadworthiness status of this Chevrolet Spark is excellent, with the vehicle demonstrating a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT conducted on 13 October 2025 at 74,228 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of fault-free testing over the last four years, suggesting that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent upkeep and regular servicing by its previous owners. The recorded mileage of 74,228 miles over a 16-year lifespan equates to a modest annual average of approximately 4,639 miles. This low-usage profile is corroborated by the steady, incremental mileage accumulation observed between the 2022 test at 63,342 miles and the 2025 test. While the 2024 MOT history shows a failed test on 15 October followed by a pass just three days later on 18 October, the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a significant mechanical failure. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of long-term light usage, specifically checking for signs of perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, CV joint gaiters, and engine hoses. Although the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough examination of the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounting points. Ensure the braking system operates smoothly, as vehicles that sit for extended periods can develop seized calipers or surface corrosion on the brake discs. Provided these age-related items are in order, the historical data indicates a reliable and well-maintained example.
