2012 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · LS12 XTE

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 42,622 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has clearly been well-kept and continues to meet UK safety standards without any mechanical or structural failures during the annual testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 32,851 miles and November 2025 at 42,622 miles, the car covered only 9,771 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of storage. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts such as bushes, tyres, and seals which do not benefit from regular operation. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural weaknesses, a physical inspection should focus on items associated with low-mileage storage. Inspect the chassis for surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as stationary vehicles can accumulate moisture-related rust. Check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, which often occurs when vehicles are not used frequently, and examine the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking despite having ample tread depth.
