2012 Chevrolet Spark 1.2L Petrol · FN12 NXG

The 2012 Chevrolet Spark presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 06 February 2025 at 98,935 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome is not an isolated result. It follows a pattern of consecutive clean passes in October 2022 and October 2021, with the sole anomaly being a pass/fail sequence on consecutive days in October 2022, where the initial failure on the 6th recorded no defects, suggesting a likely administrative or procedural retest rather than a rectified mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable, with no recurring advisories or failures to indicate a worsening or neglected mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation of 98,935 miles over approximately fourteen years equates to a typical annual usage of roughly 7,067 miles. The recorded intervals show a steady progression from 77,257 miles in October 2021 to 82,799 miles in October 2022, and then to 93,754 miles in November 2023. The most significant jump of approximately 5,181 miles occurred between the November 2023 test and the February 2025 test, a span of sixteen months. This is a moderate increase and does not suggest a sudden period of excessively high mileage use. The record is sparse but entirely clean, with no gaps that would raise concerns about the vehicle being off-road for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The age of the vehicle warrants a close examination of structural integrity, particularly for corrosion on the underbody, sills, and around suspension mounting points. The braking and suspension systems, while not flagged in testing, should be inspected for age-related deterioration such as perished brake hoses, worn suspension bushes, and leaking shock absorbers. The tyres should be checked for uneven wear and date of manufacture, as perished rubber can exist without triggering a tread-depth advisory. The engine and transmission should be assessed for fluid leaks and smooth operation, as minor seepage can develop between test intervals.
