2014 Chevrolet Trax 1.6L Petrol · WX14 VMF

The 2024‑02‑24 MOT at 65,290 miles recorded a FAIL, yet the test sheet lists no defects, indicating that the vehicle met all quantitative thresholds but was judged non‑compliant for reasons not reflected in the defect column. No mechanical failures such as suspension bushes, brake binding, or structural rust were noted in any of the three tests, suggesting a stable maintenance record with no worsening or improving trend. The mileage trajectory shows an average annual usage of roughly 5,400 miles over a 12‑year lifespan, well below the typical wear rate for a vehicle of this age. The interval from the 2022‑12‑10 test (63,750 miles) to the 2024‑02‑24 test (65,290 miles) spans just over two years and adds only about 1,540 miles, or 700 miles per year, reinforcing the impression of limited use and possibly extended periods of standing. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or corrosion, verify that the brake discs and calipers show no binding or excessive wear, and inspect the chassis and underbody for rust that can develop when a car is driven infrequently. Particular attention to tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition is advisable, as low mileage does not preclude deterioration from age. The absence of recorded defects makes the vehicle appear mechanically sound, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the condition implied by the MOT history.
