2014 Chevrolet Spark 0.9L Petrol · CE14 FNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 22, 2026, at 43,997 miles. This result followed an immediate failure on the same day due to an electronic stability control fault and a misaligned nearside headlamp. While the faults were rectified quickly, the presence of an ESC warning lamp suggests a potential sensor or module issue that requires monitoring. The overall maintenance trend appears stable but indicates reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage data between September 2021 and June 2023, where the car covered only 3,080 miles in two years. However, usage has increased sharply between 2023 and 2026, covering over 25,000 miles in three years. This sudden surge in mileage can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber seals, brake components, and tyre compounds if the previous periods involved sitting stationary. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues including binding and lagging rear brakes in 2021, followed by thin offside front pads in 2025. Given the low-mileage nature of the car, check for caliper seizure or uneven wear on the discs. The 2026 failure regarding the electronic stability control also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure the fault is not intermittent. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, as the history shows previous failures related to tread depth and physical damage.
