2009 Chevrolet Aveo 1.4L Petrol · FN09 OBC

The Chevrolet Aveo presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 18 December 2025 at 150,319 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 test shows a prior failed attempt on the same day at 150,315 miles, yet the failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern repeats from 5 December 2024, where a fail at 144,667 miles with no defects preceded a pass at 144,672 miles hours later. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the three years of records. Mileage stands at 150,319 against a December 2023 reading of 138,642, giving roughly 5,800 miles covered per year across that span, below the lifetime average of 8,842. The owner logged only 5,647 miles in 2024 and 5,647 again by December 2025, indicating lighter recent use than the vehicle saw earlier in life. Sparse test entries mean we cannot judge consumable wear between tests, but the clean sheets imply no outstanding suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion issues were flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the Aveo of this era suffers from rear chassis rail rust that MOT testers may miss until advanced. Check the coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue from 17 years of service, and verify the exhaust emissions system is sound despite the clean record. The twin same-day fail-pass cycles point to lax workshop process rather than poor owner care, yet the absence of advisories offers no early warning on tyres or binding calipers nearing replacement.
