2012 CHEVROLET AVEO1.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-17 resulted in a pass , but the vehicle had multiple issues including a restricted driver’s view due to a windscreen obstruction, a broken rear wiper arm, and tyres worn close to legal limits. A previous failure on 2025-12-12 revealed more severe problems: a major exhaust leak, inoperative engine MIL, worn brake pads and discs, and emissions failure. These issues suggest urgent mechanical concerns that may have been partially addressed before the subsequent pass. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake wear (thin pads, worn discs), oil leaks , and tyre condition issues. Brake-related defects appeared in 2023-12-07, 2024-12-16, and 2025-12-12, with the 2025-12-12 failure noting brake pads below 1.5 mm and a significantly worn disc. Oil leaks were recorded in 2023-12-07, 2024-12-16, and 2025-12-17, indicating persistent sealing or gasket issues. Tyres near legal limits were noted in 2025-12-17 and earlier, raising concerns about uneven wear or alignment. The condition trend shows worsening risks over time. While some issues (e.g., exhaust, brake components) were resolved between the 2025-12-12 failure and 2025-12-17 pass, recurring defects like brake wear and oil leaks suggest incomplete or temporary fixes. The 2025-12-12 failure included critical safety risks (e.g., exhaust leaks, emissions failure), which are more severe than earlier minor issues.
