Known faults for Chevrolet Chevrolet Lacetti
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: CHEVROLET LACETTI
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Throttle Body Carbon Buildup and Idle Surging(Moderate)
On 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol engines, oily crankcase blow-by gases and exhaust deposits accumulate around the throttle butterfly valve and idle air control passage. Over time, the gummy carbon deposits prevent the throttle plate from returning to its precise baseline position, resulting in fluctuating engine revs, stalling when depressing the clutch, and hesitation upon accelerating from junctions.
- ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Failure and Tone Ring Corrosion(Moderate)
The wheel speed sensors and ABS reluctor tone rings fitted to the front and rear hubs are exposed to harsh UK road salt and winter grit. Corrosion builds up beneath the reluctor rings, causing them to crack or distort, while road grime breaches the wheel speed sensor wiring connectors. This causes erratic speed signals, false ABS triggering during gentle low-speed braking, and permanent illumination of the ABS warning light.
