2012 Chevrolet Aveo 1.2L Diesel · LC62 GGP

This 2012 Chevrolet Aveo has covered 104,730 miles, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it hasn't been excessively driven but also hasn't been sitting idle for long periods. The most recent MOT from June 2026 is a pass, but the history shows a worrying trend of worsening mechanical issues. While the car passed in 2024 with only minor registration plate issues, the 2025 and 2026 tests reveal increasing concerns regarding the suspension, engine stability, and fluid integrity. There is a recurring pattern of deterioration. In 2025, the vehicle failed due to corroded rear coil springs and a leaking shock absorber. By June 2026, the mechanical issues escalated to include a damaged rear engine mounting bracket and an oil leak. Although the oil leak was noted as not excessive, the appearance of engine mounting issues alongside suspension corrosion suggests that the vehicle's aging components are beginning to fail more frequently. The condition trend is worsening. The car has moved from simple cosmetic failures to more significant structural and mechanical faults involving the engine and suspension systems within a two-year window.
