2013 Chevrolet Aveo 1.2L Petrol · SP13 XKD

The 2013 Chevrolet Aveo is presently roadworthy, having passed the most recent DVSA MOT on 21 April 2026 at 32 286 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears to be improving; a failure on 18 April 2026 (exhaust CO at idle) was corrected within three days, and the vehicle subsequently achieved a clean pass. Earlier failures in September 2025 and September 2024 were isolated and resolved, suggesting that the owners have addressed the highlighted issues. Mileage analysis shows a low utilisation rate for a 13‑year‑old car. The vehicle has accumulated 32 286 miles, averaging roughly 2 484 miles per year. Between 10 September 2024 and 16 September 2025 the mileage increased by 795 miles, and from 16 September 2025 to 21 April 2026 it rose by 914 miles. These increments are modest and indicate consistent, moderate use rather than a period of heavy driving or neglect. The gaps between MOTs are typical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A prospective buyer should focus on the components that triggered past failures. The fractured off‑side front coil spring recorded in September 2025 warrants a thorough inspection of the front suspension, including coil springs, bushings, and mounting points, to confirm that replacements or repairs have been made. The CO excess at idle noted in April 2026 points to the exhaust system and catalytic converter; a visual check for leaks, corrosion, or damage, coupled with a CO sensor test, would be prudent. Additionally, routine checks of tyres, wiper blades, brakes, and general rust or corrosion on the chassis will help ensure that the vehicle remains in good operating condition.
