2012 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · LR62 CMZ

The most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 recorded a pass at 33,909 miles, but the tester noted slight cracking on all four tyres. That advisory places the vehicle in a condition that is road‑worthy today, yet the tyre degradation signals a worsening trend that should be addressed before the next test. Mileage has risen from 28,919 miles on 26 September 2022 to 31,308 miles on 14 September 2023, then to 32,786 miles on 16 September 2024 and finally to 33,909 miles on 15 September 2025. The increase of roughly 1,300–1,500 miles per year reflects a very low average of about 2,400 miles annually for a fourteen‑year‑old car. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, indicating consistent, light usage rather than periods of intensive driving. A prospective buyer should give the tyre condition priority. The recurring cracking, first noted on the nearside rear in 2024 and now present on all four tyres, warrants a thorough visual inspection for sidewall damage and a measurement of tread depth. The 2024 failure for an ineffective windscreen wiper also suggests the clearing system may need servicing or replacement. Verify that the rear registration plate remains legible, as the 2023 advisory highlighted deterioration. Although no suspension or brake advisories have been recorded, low mileage does not guarantee freedom from wear; a tactile check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for any binding or uneven wear is prudent. Finally, a visual survey for corrosion or structural rust should be performed, even though the MOT history has not flagged such issues.
