2007 Chevrolet Matiz 1.0L Petrol · DS07 EEA

The Chevrolet Matiz passed its most recent MOT on 9 July 2025 at 37,078 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The only blemish is an administrative failure on the same date and mileage, followed immediately by a pass with no defects listed, and an identical pattern on 24 July 2023 failing then passing cleanly at 34,401 miles the next day. These paired entries suggest clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than latent vehicle faults. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2007 vehicle. The car covered just 1,346 miles between the July 2023 test at 34,401 miles and the July 2024 pass at 35,732 miles, then 1,346 miles again to the July 2025 pass at 37,078 miles. That averages roughly 1,950 miles per year, confirming long periods of standing relative to its 19-year life. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related issues the tests did not flag. Long standing invites perished rubber components, seized calipers, and subframe corrosion despite the clean record. Check the coil springs, brake lines, and structural integrity underneath, as a low-mileage 2007 chassis can hide rust where moisture has sat. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles at 34,401 and 37,078 miles imply the previous owner addressed whatever stopped the test promptly, but the blank defect fields leave the root cause unverified. Verify the V5C and ask the seller for context on those entries before purchase.
