2010 Chevrolet Lacetti 1.8L Petrol · GY59 YRJ

The most recent MOT (8 Sept 2025) was a pass at 77,955 mi, but it flagged an oil leak and wear on the nearside front suspension arm pin and both front anti‑roll‑bar pins. These are advisory items – they are not yet causing excessive movement, but they indicate the front suspension is beginning to show age‑related wear. A similar pattern appears in the 2022 records, where a rear registration‑plate lamp failure and an engine MIL fault caused a failure. Those issues were cleared by the 2023 and 2024 tests, and no further defects were recorded until the 2025 inspection. Overall the MOT trend is stable: after the 2022 failure the vehicle has passed three consecutive tests with only minor advisory notes. At 77,955 mi the car is about 4,870 mi per year, well below the typical average for a 2010 model. Low mileage can mean the car has been lightly driven, which reduces wear on consumables, but it can also suggest long periods of storage where rubber components may dry out and seals can develop leaks. The mileage alone does not confirm hard use or neglect, so treat it as ambiguous. For a buyer, the priority checks are: Confirm the oil leak is minor and not affecting the engine or exhaust. Look for fresh oil on the underside and check the oil level and condition.
