2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.2L Petrol · LL10 LKY

The 2010 Chevrolet Spark is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 2024-03-15, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern over the past three years, with consistent passes and no major mechanical issues flagged. The vehicle has demonstrated reliability in recent years, with the only notable event being a failed test just two days prior on the same mileage, which was not due to any defects but likely a procedural or administrative error. This suggests the car has been maintained to a reasonable standard and is currently in good working order. The recorded mileage of 111,366 miles over 16 years equates to an average of approximately 6,960 miles per year, which is within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history, and the mileage progression appears steady, with no sudden spikes that would indicate neglect or excessive use. The consistent testing intervals and lack of extended periods without MOTs suggest the vehicle has been regularly driven and maintained, avoiding long-term storage that could lead to deterioration of fluids, tyres, or electrical systems. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on high-wear components. Pay close attention to the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common failure points in this model and may show signs of sagging or wear. Inspect the brake system thoroughly, as binding rear brakes were flagged in a previous test, and brake discs may be nearing the end of their service life. Also examine the undercarriage for signs of corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and floorpan, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Tyres should be checked for age and tread depth, as consistent use over 111,000 miles may have worn them down.
