2008 Chevrolet Aveo 1.4L Petrol · VX58 TXC

The 20 February 2026 MOT at 54,367 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. The vehicle’s mileage has risen steadily from 45,700 miles in January 2020 to 54,367 miles in February 2026, a gain of 8,667 miles over six years, or roughly 1,445 miles per year; the recent increase of 1,104 miles since the 2024‑12‑12 test shows regular use despite the overall low annual average of about 3,020 miles. Recurring observations of worn suspension arm pins and bushes, especially on the near‑side rear and off‑side front arms, and service brake binding noted in the 2023 and 2024 tests point to components that should be examined for play, corrosion and brake pad condition during an in‑person inspection. Additional concerns include rear axle corrosion recorded in the 2023 test, sub‑frame rust noted in 2020, and a corroded rear fuel filter in 2020, all of which merit close scrutiny, while the child seat fitted in earlier examinations may limit access to the adult seat‑belt anchorage.
