2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · LL10 LLU

The 2010 Chevrolet Spark currently holds a stable maintenance trend, though its roadworthiness status requires immediate attention. The most recent MOT test occurred on 2025-01-15 at 101,165 miles, resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. However, given today's date of 2026-06-26, the certificate is over 18 months expired, rendering the vehicle untaxed and illegal for road use until a fresh test is completed. The historical trend remains stable, with no recurring mechanical issues or advisories appearing across the recorded tests. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use. Between 2023-01-21 at 96,296 miles and 2024-01-20 at 99,321 miles, the Spark covered just 3,025 miles. The following year, from 2024-01-20 to 2025-01-15 at 101,165 miles, the mileage increased by only 1,844 miles. This averages roughly 6,300 miles annually, which is low for a typical motor. Such low mileage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes, though prolonged periods of standing can cause seized brake calipers or degraded rubber seals. Despite the clean MOT record, the failed tests on 2023-01-21 and 2025-01-15 both list no defects, which is highly anomalous for a failed outcome. This likely points to administrative errors, an aborted test, or a dangerous failure noted outside the standard defect categories. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to verify the current condition of the vehicle. Focus on the structural integrity of the undercarriage for corrosion, check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding, and inspect the coil springs and suspension bushes for age-related deterioration. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition also warrant close examination, as basic consumable upkeep can be skipped on low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for extended periods.
