2013 Chevrolet Aveo 1.2L Petrol · WA13 OCL

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, though the most recent MOT history indicates a slight decline in maintenance standards regarding minor components. While the car passed its test in August 2025 at 45,503 miles, the preceding failure on the same day reveals issues that required immediate rectification. The presence of mismatched tyres on the rear axle and a worn front suspension arm bush suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults necessary to pass inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2022 at 23,825 miles and October 2023 at 37,659 miles, where the car covered nearly 14,000 miles in a single year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to inactivity, which aligns with the worn suspension arm bush noted in the 2025 record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the nearside front arm bush was flagged as worn in 2025. This condition often causes uneven tyre wear, which explains why the offside front inner tyre was found near the legal limit during the same test. The failure for mismatched tyres on the rear axle is a safety concern that should be replaced with a matching pair to ensure consistent handling and braking. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection for corrosion on the underbody and brake lines is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer more surface rust than frequently driven ones.
