2017 Chevrolet GMC Camaro 6.2L Petrol · AY66 FPJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 24,998 miles passed with a recurring advisory for perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. This mirrors an advisory from the April 2025 test at 24,632 miles, indicating that the rubber is degrading due to age and inactivity rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,778 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car covered only 1,737 miles, suggesting it sits for long periods or is used sparingly. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine, it directly correlates with the accelerated aging of rubber-based components and the aforementioned UV-related degradation of tyre sidewalls as seen in the consistent MOT failures. A buyer must scrutinise the rear suspension assembly. The April 2023 test failure at 23,253 miles identified worn bushes on both rear lower suspension arm pins. While the vehicle passed in subsequent tests, these components are prone to dry cracking when a vehicle remains stationary. Additionally, the 2023 failure for thin brake pads and a structural bulge in a front tyre suggests the owner only addresses safety-critical items after a failure. A physical inspection should check for further fractures in the suspension bushings and ensure the rear tyres have been replaced recently despite having adequate tread depth.
