2013 Chevrolet Spark 1.2L Petrol · LL13 TVC

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent MOT test conducted on 9 December 2025 at 88,827 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been successfully rectified. While the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the current owner is proactive in addressing faults to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. A notable gap of 10,000 miles recorded between the November 2023 test (76,183 miles) and the December 2024 test (78,815 miles) shows a period of lower usage rather than long periods of neglect. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and brake fluids. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical causes of those defects. Given the age of the Spark, it is vital to inspect structural integrity on the sills and wheel arches, which are common points of corrosion for this model. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for seizing, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from brake components sticking over time.
