AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Chevrolet has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 10,710 miles. The vehicle's history shows consistent maintenance, but the timing chain and clutch issues from the community knowledge are a major concern for this model.
The mileage trajectory shows a normal annual usage of 8,882 miles/year, but a critical anomaly exists: an unusually high mileage jump of 29,321 miles/year equivalent occurred before Nov 2017, which is 3.3 times the car's average.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Unusually high mileage jump of 29,321 miles/year equivalent before Nov 2017.
- Recurring suspension advisories: Multiple advisories for suspension components across 5 tests.
- Recurring tyre advisories: Multiple advisories for tyre condition across 3 tests.
- Exhaust system issues: Recurring advisories for exhaust corrosion in Dec 2018 and Dec 2024.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage of 8,882 miles/year since 2017, suggesting regular use.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most
