2012 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · MW12 AEO

The 2012 Chevrolet Spark presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 131,034 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from April 2022 to April 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 19 April 2022 at 117,656 miles, reversed four days later at 117,660 miles with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a fourteen-year-old car. The record shows 122,563 miles in April 2023, 127,015 in April 2024, and 131,034 in April 2025, equating to roughly 4,400 miles per year over that span against a lifetime average near 9,360. The clean pass history across consecutive years suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse gap between the April 2022 fail and retest leaves little detail on what prompted the initial rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 131,034 miles of service. No advisories for corrosion or structural integrity appear in the supplied record, which is favourable, but MOT cleanliness does not certify component life remaining on consumables. Verify the April 2022 failure cause through DVSA refusal documentation before purchase. Confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions during a viewing, as these items fall outside the defect-free pass entries yet degrade with time regardless of test outcome.
