2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.2L Petrol · WR10 ACO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 16 April 2025 at 100,070 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean tests dating back to early 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 16 year old city car. Between April 2022 and April 2025, the odometer rose from 85,589 to 100,070 miles, averaging roughly 4,800 miles per year over that period. A slight increase in usage occurred between April 2023 and April 2024, where the vehicle covered 7,149 miles. There are no erratic mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. The record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no mentioned advisories for common wear items like brake discs, suspension bushes, or tyre tread. While the lack of defects is positive, a buyer should still physically inspect the underbody for corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis beyond the pass result. Focus a manual inspection on the clutch and gearbox operation, as these are not always fully captured by a standard MOT test. Check the condition of the coolant hoses and battery terminals to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from neglect despite the clean test history. Given the age and mileage, verifying the date of the last cambelt or timing chain service is essential to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
