2013 GM Coachwork Blaze 1.6L Diesel · WF13 XTX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the record reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 109,399 miles passed, the vehicle carried persistent issues regarding the nearside rear coil spring and a damaged windscreen. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of compliance, as the owner consistently addresses immediate failures such as stop lamps and tyres, yet certain structural components remain neglected across multiple testing cycles. At 109,399 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,415 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a car of this age. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 15,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 13,400 miles covered in the following year. This regular use suggests the vehicle is not prone to long periods of standing, which generally protects rubber components and mechanical seals from premature seizing. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, specifically the nearside rear coil spring which has been flagged as corroded since at least August 2023. Corrosion on suspension components often leads to structural failure if not replaced rather than merely noted as an advisory. The front windscreen has remained a recurring defect for three consecutive years; the buyer should check for spreading cracks that could eventually compromise the integrity of the glass or fail a future test. The buyer should also verify the current condition of the tyres, as the 2023 test indicated multiple tyres suffering from perishing and reaching legal limits. While these are consumable items, the history of damage and uneven wear suggests potential alignment issues. Focus physical attention on the underbody to ensure that the noted corrosion on the coil spring has not extended to significant structural rust points on the mounting plates or chassis.
