2009 Chevrolet Aveo 1.2L Petrol · MW59 KFJ

The Chevrolet Aveo presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 26 February 2024 at 48,966 miles showing no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no recurring mechanical faults or escalating wear patterns flagged by testers. Two earlier failures in March 2022 and March 2023 were logged at identical mileages to the passes issued the following day, both with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than outstanding vehicle condition problems. The recorded mileage of 48,966 miles against a 2009 build date gives an average of roughly 2,880 miles per year, confirming very light use for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The records show only 935 miles added between the March 2022 test at 47,031 miles and the March 2023 test at 47,828 miles, then a further 1,138 miles to the February 2024 pass. Such low annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, which carries its own risks for perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corroding brake discs or exhaust systems even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe for corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely outdoor storage. The brake discs and calipers warrant close checking for binding or surface pitting from disuse, and the tyres should be examined for sidewall cracking despite the absence of tread-depth advisories in the record. The DVSA data alone offers no evidence of structural integrity loss, but the sparse clean history provides limited insight into components not routinely failed at test.
