1979 Vauxhall Chevette 2.5L Petrol · JNK 349V

The 1979 Vauxhall Chevette is presently roadworthy, as the July 2025 MOT at 303 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage has risen gradually from 156 miles in July 2022 to 303 miles by July 2025, averaging roughly six miles per year, which reflects long periods of inactivity rather than rapid use. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and inspect the chassis and floorpan for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills. Although the MOT record shows no defects, the vehicle’s 47‑year age means hidden corrosion or component fatigue may remain undetected, so a thorough physical inspection is essential before purchase.
