2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · LM10 KPJ

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile characterized by a recurring pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in November 2022 at 101,516 miles resulted in a pass, the record reveals persistent oil leaks and corroded rear brake piping. The maintenance trend appears stable in its neglect, as mechanical faults like suspension bush wear are addressed only after failing a test. Given that it has been over three years since the last recorded test, the vehicle is currently operating on an expired MOT, and its current mechanical state is entirely unverified. The mileage figure of 101,516 miles over 16 years reflects a low average of approximately 6,345 miles per annum. However, there is a significant gap in the data, with no recorded tests between November 2022 and the present date of June 2026. This suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods or was out of use, which often accelerates the degradation of rubber components, such as bushes, bushes, and fluid seals, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows repeated failures for both the nearside and offside suspension arm pins and bushes. The gearbox mounting was flagged as defective in early 2022, which requires a check for engine movement or drivetrain clunking. The presence of corrosion on the rear brake pipe, which was covered in grease, indicates a potential attempt to hide structural decay in the braking lines. Furthermore, the persistent oil leak noted since 2021 warrants a close inspection to determine if the source is a minor gasket or a more significant component failure.
