Known faults for Chevrolet Chevrolet Kalos
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Poor
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: CHEVROLET KALOS
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Coil Spring Fractures and Suspension Bush Wear(Moderate)
The front suspension configuration of the Kalos suffers significant wear on typical potholed and speed-bump-heavy UK roads. The lower coils of the front suspension springs are vulnerable to road salt corrosion and stress fatigue, leading to sudden snapping. Concurrently, the front lower wishbone rubber bushes and anti-roll bar link rods develop excessive play, causing vague steering, wandering under braking, and MOT test failure.
- Airbag SRS Warning Light and Under-Seat Connector Fault(Moderate)
A very frequent fault across the Kalos range involves intermittent illumination of the supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbag warning lamp. The multi-pin electrical harness connectors situated beneath the front driver and passenger seats suffer from high resistance due to slight wire stretching when adjusting seat position, or tarnished contact pins. Once triggered, the SRS module disables airbag deployment and latches a permanent warning code that causes an instant MOT failure.
