2009 Chevrolet Aveo 1.2L Petrol · LS09 ULL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on August 3, 2023 at 89,076 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all legal requirements at that time. While the history shows two failures immediately preceding successful passes, these appear to have been administrative or minor presentation-related issues that were rectified quickly before the re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,240 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 78,669 miles and the August 2023 test at 89,076 miles, the car covered 10,407 miles in just thirteen months. This represents a period of higher usage compared to the lifetime average, which explains the consistent testing. However, the low overall mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidew, which dry out when a vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as older Chevrolet vehicles are prone to corrosion that may not be visible until it becomes structural. Given the low mileage, check the braking system for seized calipers or rusted discs which often occur from lack of frequent use. Since the last recorded MOT was nearly three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual test, and a fresh inspection is mandatory to ensure no new mechanical failures or fluid leaks have developed since the 2023 entry.
