2009 Chevrolet Matiz 1.0L Petrol · CK09 DCY

This 2009 Chevrolet Matiz passed its most recent MOT in February 2026, but the report reveals a concerning increase in advisory notices. The vehicle shows a clear worsening trend regarding its chassis and suspension. While earlier tests were relatively clean, the last two years show a surge in issues, specifically corroded brake pipes across multiple positions and distorted road wheels. The most recent test also highlights worn axle swivel pins, bushes, and play in both rear wheel bearings. The mileage is very low for a 17-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,447 miles per year. While this suggests light use, the prevalence of corrosion on the brake pipes and the sudden appearance of multiple suspension and bearing issues may indicate that the car has suffered from periods of standing or has been exposed to a harsh environment. The recurring pattern of distorted wheels and suspension wear is a red flag for potential hard use or impact damage, despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody for rust and corrosion, specifically the brake lines. You should also have a professional check the integrity of the wheels and the condition of the rear wheel bearings and axle bushes before purchasing.
