Our Verdict

This 2012 Chevrolet Cruze presents notable risks due to repeated MOT failures and high mileage, making it a cautious purchase unless significant discounts are negotiated.

Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection focusing on the exhaust system, suspension components, and tyre condition. Verify service history for consistency with recorded MOT defects. Negotiate aggressively due to the high mileage and repeated failures. Be wary of hidden corrosion or repeated repairs, particularly around the rear axle and exhaust. Check for rust in the underbody, as this model is prone to corrosion in UK conditions.
