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 7,019 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,658 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2021 (1,927 miles in 12 months).
Things to check
- Recurring MAJOR failures in brakes (Mar 2023, Mar 2025) and suspension (Mar 2023, Mar 2025) indicate systemic neglect.
- Brake system advisories escalated to MAJOR failures in 2023 and 2025, showing a clear pattern of worsening issues.
- Tyre advisories (Mar 2021, Mar 2023) and a windscreen wiper advisory (Mar 2023) suggest a history of deferred maintenance.
- The vehicle has covered only 7,019 miles in 13 years, a significant red flag for a 2013 car.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
- The car has consistently passed its MOT tests after initial failures, showing some level of repair completion.
