2009 Chevrolet Aveo 1.2L Petrol · LS09 ULK

The vehicle is in good roadworthiness condition, with the most recent MOT passed on 10 October 2023 at 106,629 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean, consistent pattern of five consecutive passes since 2019, indicating stable mechanical condition and no recurring failures across critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage progression is steady and typical for its age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between 2019 and 2023, the car accumulated 41,885 miles over five years, with tests conducted annually without gaps. The gap between the March 2019 and October 2020 tests was unusually long at 19 months, but this did not coincide with any failure or anomaly, and the subsequent annual tests show no signs of accelerated wear or neglect. The current mileage aligns with normal usage for a 17-year-old vehicle. Despite the absence of advisories or defects in the MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, as they are consumables that degrade with use and may require replacement even if not flagged. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering components should be checked for signs of dry rot or cracking, as these often deteriorate with age rather than mileage. The exhaust system, particularly the rear silencer and mounting brackets, should be examined for corrosion, a common issue on vehicles of this era. Tyres should be verified for age-related cracking, even if tread depth appears adequate, as the original tyres may still be fitted.
