2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.2L Petrol · CX60 WTA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 5 December 2024 at 27,313 miles. This record indicates a stable mechanical state, as the car has cleared its annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories for the past five years. The failure recorded on 25 November 2024 at 27,308 miles appears to be a procedural anomaly or a minor administrative oversight given that the vehicle passed just ten days later with no documented repairs, suggesting the underlying roadworthiness remains consistent. At sixteen years of age, the total mileage of 27,313 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 1,707 miles per annum. The data shows a period of limited use between November 2021 and November 2022, where the vehicle covered roughly 6,000 miles, followed by a significant reduction in usage to fewer than 400 miles between November 2022 and November 2023. While low mileage often appeals to buyers, such infrequent use can lead to issues related to long-term standing, including seized brake components, perished rubber seals, or degraded fluids that may not always manifest during a standard MOT test. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on components prone to deterioration during periods of inactivity. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat idle for extended durations, which often causes calipers to bind. Check the sidewalls of all tyres for signs of cracking or dry rot, even if the tread depth remains legal. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system and suspension bushes, as these parts can suffer from premature degradation when a vehicle is not regularly driven to operating temperature.
