AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Chevrolet Spark shows a current roadworthy status following the most recent MOT test on 21 October 2025 at 99,462 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Maintenance trend across the supplied records remains stable, with consecutive passes in October 2024 at 97,365 miles and September 2023 at 95,004 miles, each citing no advisories. The only aberration appears on 23 September 2022 when the vehicle first failed at 87,646 miles with no defects logged, then passed later that same day at identical mileage with no defects noted. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,651 miles per year overall. The recorded distances show a marked slowdown after 2023. From September 2022 to September 2023 the odometer advanced 7,358 miles, a normal annual span. Subsequent intervals dropped sharply: only 2,361 miles to October 2024 and 2,097 miles to October 2025. Such reduced yearly coverage implies the car entered lighter service or spent extended periods stationary in later life. The history provided begins at 87,646 miles in 2022, leaving earlier years undocumented in this extract. No recurring mechanical or structural faults emerge from the DVSA data, as every test beyond the anomalous 2022 entry closed with a clean sheet. That pattern suggests previous keepers addressed consumable wear preemptively or the vehicle escaped age-related corrosion on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust systems. Still, a buyer should physically verify those components in person. Inspect subframes and sills for structural rust, check calipers for binding, and measure tyre tread and wiper condition despite absence of advisories. The same-day fail and pass on 23 September 2022 with zero defects recorded demands clarification. Request the full DVSA test certificate or speak to the selling party to confirm whether a documentation error or a minor non-mechanical rejection occurred. Absent any flagged issues, the Spark presents as a low-stress purchase for its age, but an independent inspection remains prudent given the missing early history.
