2010 Chevrolet Aveo 1.2L Petrol · LS10 TWK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the test on 4 October 2025 at 76,034 miles. While the result was a pass, the record documents severe corrosion on brake pipes alongside exhaust leaks that persisted through consecutive annual tests. Recurring advisories on fluid containment and braking integrity suggest deferred repairs rather than resolved issues. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in late 2024 which remains unaddressed in subsequent records, pointing towards inconsistent upkeep. Recorded mileage stands at 76,034 miles against an estimated age of sixteen years. This averages approximately 4,750 miles per annum, reflecting lighter than typical usage for this model. Such low accumulation often masks long periods of standing where seals dry out or corrosion sets in without active driving cycles. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline between 2022 and 2025, yet the odometer progression remains slow, suggesting the engine may have spent considerable time idle. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspecting the underbody for fresh corrosion on steel brake lines, particularly near the master cylinder and flexible hoses. The repeated notes regarding exhaust gas leaks indicate the flexi section requires replacement soon to prevent fumes entering the cabin. Verify the source of the chronic oil leak, as consistent seepage from the engine block can degrade surrounding rubber mounts. Finally, check suspension bushes and steering components for play, given the age of the vehicle and the history of binding brake calipers.
