2008 Chevrolet Matiz 1.0L Petrol · LS58 GPZ

The most recent MOT test on 9 March 2026 at 64,263 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects. This result continues a consistent track record of passing tests over the last three years, indicating stable mechanical condition following an isolated incident in early 2023. The vehicle currently holds valid certification with no immediate statutory failures requiring attention before purchase. At eighteen years old, this Chevrolet Matiz records approximately 3,570 miles annually, reflecting significantly lower than average usage for its class. Mileage progression remains steady across the recorded history, moving from 50,883 miles in March 2023 to 64,263 miles today without sudden jumps that would suggest odometer tampering or long periods of standing. However, the single failure recorded during the 2023 annual test highlights a period where basic maintenance intervals were likely missed. That specific test flagged exposed cords on all four tyres, suggesting the previous owner neglected rubber component replacement until they became unsafe. Buyers should verify the current condition of all rubber components beyond the tyres, as the previous failure involved exposed cords on all four wheels. While recent examinations did not flag suspension bushes or brake discs, the age of the chassis warrants a physical check for structural corrosion and rust along the sills and wheel arches. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm the exhaust system integrity and ensure the handbrake mechanism operates correctly given the low mileage accumulation.
