Chevrolet SPARK - 2014

The 2014 Chevrolet Spark has a significantly higher overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 262 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 35% worse than the average of 194 defects per 100. This model shows a concerning trend with increasing defects as mileage increases, particularly in the 31,000 to 124,000 miles categories, where it outpaces the average in defect rates. Notably, it performs poorly in several key areas, including brakes, visibility, and lights & electrics, with defect rates much higher than the overall averages. While tyre wear is common across vehicles, the Spark's issues in body structure and equipment stand out, emphasising its specific vulnerabilities compared to similarly aged cars.
