2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · LL10 LRO

This vehicle has just failed its MOT on 22 May 2026, and the results indicate serious structural and mechanical concerns. The most critical failure is excessive corrosion on both rear inner sills, which has significantly reduced the structural strength of the vehicle. There is a clear and worsening trend in the vehicle's condition. While it achieved a clean pass in June 2025, the most recent inspection reveals a widespread decline, including a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot, thin brake pads, and an illegal tyre tread depth. A recurring pattern of suspension and steering wear is evident throughout the history. Issues with track rod ends, suspension arm bushes, and dust covers have appeared consistently since 2023, suggesting that these components are reaching the end of their service life or have not been adequately maintained. The recorded mileage of 92,390 is low for a 16-year-old car. However, the presence of significant structural rust and perished rubber boots suggests that this low mileage may be the result of the car standing for long periods or being kept in a corrosive environment, rather than simply light use. A buyer must first inspect the underside of the car, specifically the rear inner sills and the front sub-frame, to understand the extent of the corrosion. You should also check the condition of the CV boots and the thickness of the brake pads to determine the cost of the necessary repairs required to make the vehicle roadworthy.
