CHEVROLET AVEO2011 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of deteriorating suspension components and persistent brake corrosion. While the most recent recorded test in July 2019 at 72,657 miles was a pass, it carried multiple advisories regarding worn anti-roll bar linkages, lower suspension arm bushes, and a binding front brake. These issues mirror a pattern of failures seen in 2018 and 2017, suggesting that previous owners addressed faults only to pass inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,844 miles per year to reach 72,657 recorded miles. However, there is a significant data gap in the history, with no recorded MOT tests since July 2019. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has gone nearly seven years without a formal inspection. Long periods of inactivity often lead to rubber degradation in suspension bushes and seized brake calipers, which aligns with the binding brake issues noted in earlier records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire braking system and underbody structural integrity. The record shows a history of excessive corrosion on brake pipes at the subframe and flexis, which previously caused a failure in 2018. The front suspension requires close scrutiny for continued play in the anti-roll bar linkages and MacPherson strut pins, as these have been recurring failure points across multiple years. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for structural thinning, as the central box was already flagged as deteriorated in 2017.
