2014 Chevrolet Spark 0.9L Petrol · BU14 XKF

This 2014 Chevrolet Spark presents an inconsistent roadworthiness status marked by recurring test failures and a worsening maintenance trend over the recorded history. In the March 25, 2026 test at 87,889 miles, the vehicle passed only after failing the previous day for missing steering rack gaiters on both sides and an inoperative offside front position lamp. Recurring corrosion on the brake pipes also features prominently across multiple recent inspections. The recorded mileage of 87,889 miles across an age of approximately twelve years averages roughly 7,324 miles annually, representing typical light usage for this vehicle class. The MOT log shows consistent annual testing without prolonged gaps, spanning multiple inspections between March 2023 and March 2026. This regular test frequency ensures that chronological tracking of faults remains complete and transparent. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the braking and steering systems. The rear brake pipes carry persistent advisories for corrosion and grease contamination from March 2025 through March 2026, while the front brake pipes also appeared corroded in March 2025. Additionally, the steering rack gaiters require verification to ensure replacement work successfully prevents dirt ingress into the steering mechanism following the major failures recorded in March 2026. Suspension components and exterior lighting circuits warrant close scrutiny given the historical failures involving shock absorbers and electrical lamps.
