2013 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · AF63 EHR

This 2013 Chevrolet Spark has covered approximately 107,509 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. While the annual mileage is consistent, the MOT history suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance and wear-related issues that require careful scrutiny. The vehicle’s condition appears to be stable but neglected. The most recent MOT from June 2025 shows advisory notes regarding worn shock absorber bushes on both front sides. While these are currently only advisories, they indicate that the suspension system is beginning to show its age and will likely require replacement in the near future. A recurring theme in the history is the degradation of braking components. Between 2022 and 2024, the car faced issues with brake grabbing, pitted discs, and corroded brake pipes. Although these were addressed to pass subsequent tests, the frequency of these warnings suggests that the braking system has been subjected to significant wear or potentially long periods of standing, which can accelerate corrosion on metal lines and discs. The history also points to minor cosmetic and safety-related neglect, such as taped-up wing mirror covers and defective wiper blades, which are often indicators of an owner who has prioritised minimum compliance over proactive upkeep. The 2022 failure regarding the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp is a notable concern, as electrical faults in the airbag system can be costly to diagnose and rectify.
