2008 Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6L Petrol · AE08 SKG

The Chevrolet Lacetti presents as roadworthy following the June 2025 MOT pass at 60,871 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in June 2024, May 2023, and May 2022 all passed cleanly, showing no worsening pattern of advisories or recurring defects. The mileage pattern reflects very low use for an 18-year-old vehicle. Recorded distance rose from 56,780 miles in May 2022 to 58,003 in May 2023, then 59,145 in June 2024, and 60,871 by June 2025, averaging roughly 1,350 miles per year over that span. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the data. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Low annual mileage and likely long standing periods raise the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and hidden structural corrosion not visible during a brief test. The duplicated 19 June 2025 entries suggest the selling garage or owner may have retested same-day, so verify the V5C and actual test certificate. Focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, brake disc condition, and suspension arm bushes. The absence of recorded faults implies basic upkeep was maintained, but 60,871 miles over 18 years means age-related degradation now outweighs wear-related risk.
