2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.2L Petrol · LO10 JOA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025. However, the maintenance trend appears to be stable to slightly concerning as recurring mechanical issues have emerged over the last three years. While the car passed the latest test, the presence of a binding brake on the offside rearer indicates that the braking system requires ongoing attention to prevent more significant failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,463 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between July 2022 and March 2023, where the vehicle traveled only 15 miles in eight months, followed by a more active period where it covered roughly 4,000 miles between early 2023 and late 2024. This low annual mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components and tyres, which may perish due to age and sitting rather than distance-related wear. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the front suspension, as the offside front lower suspension arm bushes and pins have been flagged for wear in multiple consecutive years between 2023 and 2024. This suggests a recurring weakness that may require replacement to ensure proper handling stability. Additionally, the buyer should verify the condition of all tyres for cracking or perishing, as the history shows consistent issues with age-related tyre damage on the nearside despite the low mileage.
