2010 Chevrolet Spark 1.0L Petrol · YR60 USG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 63,299 miles passed after an initial failure for low headlamp aim and worn front Macpherson strut mounts. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurrence of suspension-related defects suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of inspection failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 1,390 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 1,902 miles in the year leading up to the November 2024 test. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain but often leads to the degradation of rubber-based suspension components and seizing of brake components during long periods of inactivity. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the Macpherson strut pins and bushes were flagged as worn in the 2025 test. The tester should check for play in the top mounts and ensure no further corrosion is affecting the mounting points. Additionally, the 2024 failure for significantly worn brake discs and pads under 1.5mm demonstrates that the braking system was operated until failure. This indicates the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance intervals, necessitating a thorough physical check of the current brake hardware and caliper condition to ensure they are not again nearing the end of their service life.
