2009 Chevrolet Matiz 0.8L Petrol · DD55 DVD

The Chevrolet Matiz currently holds a failed MOT status from the 28 January 2025 test at 86,696 miles, with no defects formally recorded against the failure. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 80,349 miles on 30 January 2024 and at 77,950 miles on 13 February 2023, though it failed earlier the same day at 77,949 miles with no listed defects. The record shows a stable history of clean passes across three years, but the most recent failure leaves the car unroadworthy until the presenting fault is corrected and documented. Recorded mileage sits at 86,696 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,100 miles per year. The gap between the February 2023 pass at 77,950 miles and the January 2024 pass at 80,349 miles shows only 2,399 miles covered, while 6,347 miles were added by the January 2025 failure. Low annual use suggests light running, yet the identical-date failure and pass on 13 February 2023 implies a same-day rectification of a minor administrative or unlogged defect rather than a serious mechanical fault. A buyer must establish the reason for the January 2025 failure, as DVSA data shows no defects captured despite the rejected certificate. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions in person, since none were advised or failed previously but corrosion and binding calipers commonly escape notice on low-mileage cars left standing. Verify structural integrity underneath for rust given the vehicle's age and intermittent use. Given the clean advisories history, previous owners appear to have kept basic consumable wear in check, but the unexplained recent failure warrants caution. Commission a fresh MOT and a physical inspection before purchase to confirm the car is mechanically sound and legally roadworthy.
