2013 Chevrolet Spark 1.2L Petrol · YR13 YRV

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as evidenced by the failure of the rear service brakes and thin brake pads recorded on 2023-04-06. This indicates a significant mechanical deterioration that has not been corrected, suggesting the owner has likely neglected routine servicing and maintenance. The MOT record shows a clear downward trend in reliability, with the most recent test on 2026-03-30 failing to meet the standard, confirming that the vehicle is no longer roadworthy for future use. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 13 years old with 72,241 recorded miles, a ratio of roughly 5,557 miles per year. While the mileage is low relative to the vehicle's age, it is not low enough to justify a clean MOT record without addressing the critical brake issues. The rapid accumulation of miles over a decade, coupled with the specific failure of the rear brakes in the most recent test, suggests that the owner has not maintained a proper driving schedule or prioritized safety checks. The gap between the 2024-03-16 and 2023-04-06 passes, which were both successful, highlights the risk of catastrophic failure if the brakes are not inspected and serviced annually. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the rear service brakes, the front brake pad wear, and the suspension components. The binding condition of the rear brakes on 2023-04-06 indicates that the driver may not be able to operate the vehicle safely, and the thin brake pads require immediate replacement. Structural integrity must also be assessed; rust or corrosion in the brake calipers or hub is a serious concern that could lead to a sudden loss of braking power. The owner must confirm that the brake pads are replaced and that the suspension bushings and coil springs are in good condition, as these parts are prone to failure and can cause the vehicle to become unroadworthy.
