AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Chevrolet Spark is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT result from February 2025 at 61,086 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the vehicle has passed its last two tests without defects. The most recent inspection confirms the car remains compliant with UK road safety standards, indicating consistent upkeep and no immediate mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage of 61,086 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 4,700 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has seen limited use, possibly due to infrequent driving or long periods of inactivity. The MOT history reveals a brief gap between the failed test on January 8, 2024, and the subsequent pass on January 11, 2024—just three days later—indicating the issue was likely minor and resolved quickly. No other significant gaps or rapid mileage jumps are evident in the data. While the MOT records show no defects, the low usage pattern warrants close inspection of components that degrade with time rather than mileage. Buyers should examine the suspension system, particularly the bushes and coil springs, for signs of age-related fatigue. Brake components should also be checked, as even low-mileage vehicles can develop binding calipers or corrosion. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for early signs of rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, which are common weak points in older models.
