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 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 7,743 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a recent tyre advisory, raises significant concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (7,743 miles over 13 years), averaging only 6,442 miles/year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded in 4 separate MOT tests (Oct 2018, Jan 2021, May 2026).
  • Recurring suspension failures (coil spring, anti-roll bar link) across multiple years (2022, 2023, 2025).
  • Recent advisory for both front tyres wearing on inner edges (Oct 2018), a known recurring issue.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (7,743 miles in 13 years) for a 2013 diesel, suggesting limited use.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural corrosion or brake system failures recorded.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage trajectory with no suspicious gaps.
  • Immediate retests for failures show owner's prompt rectification of issues.
