2011 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · MF11 UAP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 22 December 2025 at 53,273 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a significant failure just two days prior. While the car initially failed due to an inoperative engine management light and a failure to complete emissions cycles, these issues were addressed quickly to secure the subsequent pass. This suggests the current owner is willing to rectify critical electronic and emission faults once identified by the tester. At 15 years old, this Chevrolet Spark has covered an exceptionally low distance of travel, averaging approximately 3,550 miles per year. The mileage history shows a consistent but infrequent usage pattern, with only 1,692 miles recorded between February 2024 and February 2025. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often increase the risk of age-related issues such as perished seals, dried out gaskets, and the degradation of rubber components that remain hidden without active operation. A buyer must physically inspect the recurring oil leak that has been noted in both February 2024 and February 2025. Although the tester described it as not excessive, a persistent leak on a low-mileage engine often indicates aging gaskets or seals that require monitoring. The February 2025 test flagged corrosion on both the front and rear suspension components. While these were not deemed seriously weakened at the time, a thorough underbody inspection is necessary to ensure rust has not progressed into structural failure between tests. The front brake discs, which were pitted and scored in early 2025, should be checked for adequate thickness and even wear, as the vehicle passed the most recent test without this specific advisory. Given the recent failure related to the engine management light, a diagnostic scan should be performed to ensure no lingering fault codes remain and that the emissions system is functioning correctly.
