Mechanical Assessment

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

The Chevrolet Spark presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 18,610 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Recorded mileage sits at 18,610 miles against a 2010 build date, equating to roughly 1,163 miles per year. The tester logged 17,450 miles in March 2022, 17,761 in March 2023, 18,143 in March 2024, 18,336 in March 2025, and 18,610 in March 2026. Annual accumulation stayed between 274 and 474 miles across those entries. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data. The sparse, fault-free history gives little evidence of neglect or heavy use. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the car. Low mileage and long standing periods accelerate corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points even when MOT advisories stay absent. The tester recorded no structural rust, brake binding, or worn bushes, but a 16-year-old vehicle demands scrutiny of coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust hangers for age-related fatigue. Check tyre sidewalls for perishing from infrequent movement and verify coolant and brake fluid condition. The clean record implies a cautious owner, yet absence of advisories is not proof of component health on a vehicle of this age.
