2012 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · LR62 TWX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 21 May 2026 at 39,342 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the previous four consecutive clean tests. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that critical mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable DVSA tolerance parameters. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,810 miles per year. Between December 2022 and May 2026, the car covered only 5,282 miles, indicating very infrequent use or potentially long periods of inactivity. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system, it also introduces risks related to age-related rubber degradation and fluid oxidation. The consistent annual intervals between MOT tests suggest the owner has remained proactive in maintaining the vehicle's legal road status despite the low annual usage. Despite the lack of recorded MOT failures or advisories, a buyer must focus on physical indicators associated with low-mileage older cars. Inspection should specifically target dry or perished suspension bushes, split rubber boots, and potential brake caliper seizing which can occur from lack of use. Because the vehicle has likely sat for extended periods, checking for cracks in tyre sidewalls and the integrity of the fuel lines is essential, as MOT tests do not always capture material-related failures until they cause an immediate failure.
