2012 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · NG12 FJA

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by a single MOT failure recorded on 2025-09-10 at 40,714 miles, which is the most recent test date provided. This indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a successful MOT since the September 2025 inspection, suggesting a lack of consistent maintenance or a history of potential mechanical issues that have not been corrected. The mileage pattern reveals a significant discrepancy between the vehicle's age and its recorded usage. With approximately 14 years of age and 40,715 miles, the vehicle is approaching the lower-mileage threshold expected for a 2012 model, implying that either the owner has been driving very lightly or the vehicle has been sitting for extended periods. This high mileage accumulation, particularly at the 36,518-mile mark where the MOT failed on 2024-09-11, suggests that wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts has been occurring at a rate that is not reflected in the total mileage. In conclusion, the recurring faults, including excessive binding on the rear service brakes and near-side front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, indicate that the vehicle requires immediate professional inspection to address structural risks. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, as well as the brake discs and exhaust emissions, before proceeding with the purchase.
