Is the Chevrolet Matiz ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 12,061 MOT tests, around 94% of Chevrolet Matizes still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 0% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 6%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 100% petrol. Every petrol Matiz in the data (2005 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

Buying a used Chevrolet Matiz for London: what the MOT data shows
The Chevrolet Matizes in this data were first registered between 2005 and 2010. 2009 was the most common year, with 3,914 tests (32% of the total), and half were registered in 2008 or later.
Almost every Matiz in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2010) passed first time 53% of the time at 52,049 miles on average, and the oldest (2005) passed 45% at 58,528 miles.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Matizes likely to comply are from 2006. 1,463 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 49% of the time and averaged 57,297 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Matiz's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (10.8% of tests); suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (6.7%); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (5.4%). The most frequent advisory was "excessively corroded", on 19.8% of tests.
Overall, 51% of Matizes passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 54,906 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
