AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2013 Chevrolet has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 26,536 miles. However, a significant 2016 brake failure and persistent advisories for tyres, brakes, and suspension warrant careful inspection.

Mileage is consistent, averaging 9,553 miles/year, with a notable spike in 2022-2023 (15,671 miles/year) and a steady increase since, showing no fraud.

Things to check

  • 2016-07-28 FAILED MOT for front and rear brake pads, indicating a major safety system was neglected.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres (7), brakes (6), and suspension (4) across multiple tests since 2018.
  • Persistent lighting issues (3 advisories) and a 2017 registration plate lamp failure suggest ongoing electrical concerns.
  • The 2013 Chevrolet is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-15, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,553 miles/year) for a 2013 vehicle.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • The 2016 brake failure was immediately rectified, showing a responsive owner.
