2010 Chevrolet Matiz 1.0L Petrol · BN10 LWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred reactive repairs. While the car passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 55,055 miles, it had failed just two days prior at 55,041 miles. This failure revealed multiple critical issues including an inoperative engine light, a missing CV boot, and thin brake pads. The progression from failure to pass suggests the owner only addresses faults when necessary to pass the annual inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only about 3,400 miles per year. Between July 2022 and June 2025, the car covered approximately 4,425 miles, indicating very infrequent use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion. The recurring mention of a deteriorating exhaust flexi and worn suspension bushes across multiple years is consistent with a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods rather than one with high mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The front suspension arm bushes and rear axle swivel pins have appeared as advisories or failures since 2024, indicating they are nearing the end of their life. The front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2024 and 2025, which often occurs when cars are not used regularly. Additionally, the nearside front CV boot must be checked for grease leaks to ensure the replacement following the June 2025 failure was executed correctly and remains intact.
