Known faults for Chevrolet Matiz
Our database tracks 4 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Poor
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: CHEVROLET MATIZ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Structural Corrosion(Serious)
Matiz models are prone to rust in the sills, floor pans, and rear arches, which can lead to MOT failure.
- Front Suspension Ball Joint and Coil Spring Wear(Moderate)
The front lower ball joints and coil springs on the M200 Matiz take a constant pounding from UK potholes, speed cushions and salted winter roads. The ball joints develop excessive play and the springs corrode and can fracture at the lower coil, causing knocking over bumps, uneven tyre wear and steering wander. Worn ball joints and broken springs are MOT failure items, and DVSA MOT data for the Matiz lists ball-joint and coil-spring defects among its recurring failure reasons.
- Sill and Floor Pan Corrosion(Serious)
The Matiz's sills, floor pans and rear wheel arches rust readily, especially on cars that have lived on salted UK roads or been stored damp. Corrosion can perforate sills and floor edges and is a common structural MOT failure; severe rust can make the car uneconomical to repair. DVSA MOT data for the Matiz lists corrosion among its recurring advisory reasons, so check the underside before buying.
